Abstract:

Microwave assisted extraction (MAE) tech-nique was employed for the extraction of pectin from black mulberry (Morus nigra) pomace in this research. The effects of process variables namely microwave power (300-900 watt), irradiation time (10-30 min) and liquid to solid ratio (15-30 mL/g) on the yield, degree of esterification (DE) and galacturonic acid content (GalA) of pectin were investigated and optimized by using response surface methodology (RSM) with a face canter central composite design. Depending on the extraction conditions, the yield, DE and GalA of pectins varied in the range of 8.87-14.47% (dry weight basis), 44.44-57.06%, and 29.17-43.13%, respectively. The results showed that both the microwave power and irradiation time had highly significant effects on the pectin yield, while the effect of liquid to solid ratio was found to be not significant, in this regard. The optimal extraction conditions for maximum yield, DE and GalA of pectin were power of 900 watt, irradiation time of 18.17 min and liquid to solid ratio of 15 mL/g. Under these conditions, 13.16% of pectin with DE of 55.07% and GalA of 36.94% was extracted. The intrinsic viscosity and viscosity average molecular weight of a representative pectin sample was also determined and it was found to be 1.22 dL/g and 32.78 kDa, respectively. The black mulberry pomace pectin showed a viscoelastic behavior in the frequency sweep test and the crossover between G' and G" occurred at low frequency region (~0.07 rad/s).

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...

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...

Anti-Inflammatory and Antinociceptive Properties of Flavonoids from the Fruits of Black Mulberry (Morus nigra L.).

We analyzed the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of total flavonoids (TF) found in black mulberry fruits. The TF content was 20.9 mg/g (dry weight). Two anthocyanins, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (8.3 mg/g) and cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside (2.9 mg/g), were identified in the fruits by UPLC. The TF of black mulberry fruits had significant reducing power and radical (OH(-), O2(·-), DPPH and A...

Microwave Assisted Extraction of Olive Oil Pomace by Acidic Hexane

In this study, Microwave-Assisted Solvent Extraction (MASE) was used to recover oil residues from pomace olive using acidic hexane. Results obtained demonstrated that oil extraction yield increased with time, the amount of acetic acid in hexane and power radiation. For both radiation powers used (170 and 510W), the optimal extraction time and most interesting content of acetic acid in hexan...
