Response surface methodology optimization for extraction of pectin from waste rinds of Citrus medica

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...

Response surface methodology for optimization of supercritical fluid extraction of orange peel essential oil

Background: Orange peel essential oils were obtained using supercritical fluid extraction. This method is an important high scaling extraction methods that used for extraction of plant and animal extracts. Methodology: The experimental parameters of SFE such as temperature, pressure, and extraction time and modifier volume were optimized using a central composite design after a 24-1fractional ...

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 the Glycyrrhizic Acid Extraction from Licorice by Response Surface Methodology

This study aims to extract Glycyrrhizic Acid (GA) from Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (licorice) using a novel, high efficiency, and low-cost extraction method. Water was chosen as the proper solvent for the extraction process to eliminate the requirement of harmful and toxic solvents, prepare an environmentally friendly process, and reduce the costs. The effect of differe...
