Pectin extraction from citron peel: optimization by Box–Behnken response surface design

A Box-Behnken experimental design for microwave assisted extraction optimization of pectin from citron peel

Microwave assisted extraction technique was employed to extract pectin from citron peel. Box-Behnken design was applied to investigate the influence of irradiation time, microwave power and pH on the yield and DE of pectin. The finding indicated that the optimal conditions for the maximum yield of pectin (30.71%) were achieved at irradiation time of 3 min, microwave power of 700 W and pH of 1.5...

Optimization of Pectin Extraction from Passion Fruit Peel using Response Surface Methodology

Pectin from passion fruit peels was extracted using citric acid extraction. The effects of citric acid concentration from 0.05 to 0.21 % (wt/wt), extraction time from 30 to 120 minutes and extraction temperatures from 35 to 85 ̊C on pectin yield and the degree of esterification (DE) were investigated. Using the central composite design (CCD), the optimized pectin yield was 6.44 % and degree of ...

Optimization of microwave assisted extraction of pectin from orange peel.

In this study, microwave-assisted extraction was applied for pectin extraction from the dried orange peel and Box-Behnken response surface design was used to study and optimize the effects of processing variables (microwave power, irradiation time, pH and solid-liquid ratio) on the yield of pectin. The amount of pectin extracted increased with increasing microwave power, while it reduces as the...

Optimization of Process Conditions for Pectin Extraction from Citrus Peel

Pectin is a complex polysaccharide and natural food additive extracted from citrus peel and apple pomace in the form of brownish powder. It is widely used as a jelling and thickening agent and the food industry especially in jams and jellies. It is also recommended for use as fat replacer and also lowers blood cholesterol by increasing viscosity in the intestinal tract thus lowering cholesterol...
