Optimization of nitric acid-mediated extraction of pectin from cacao pod husks (Theobroma cacao L.) using response surface methodology

Abstract: a b s t r a c tThis study examined variables that influence the nitric acid-extraction of pectins from cacao pod husks. An initial screening study tested the main parameters influencing yield and uronic acid content by a factorial fractional 3 3−1 design. Additional studies used response surface methodology using a central composite design. Yield was optimized by increasing temperature. Uronic acid content was higher when pH is decreased and temperature is increased, or when pH is increased and temperature is … Show more

“…As can be seen from the fi gures, temperature had a linear increase on pectin yield, and the linear relationship held at all the temperature tested. This phenomenon could be because the increase of temperature loosened cell walls and epidermal tissues, disrupted the interactions between pectin with protein or polysaccharides and decreased the solvent viscosity, which contributed to the exchange of extractant and materials, thus giving a higher rate of extraction (Vriesmann et al, 2011). Figure 2 also shows the eff ect of pH on pectin yield.…”

“…Co., Santa Barbara, USA). The abovementioned solution sample (100 L) was injected and separated by a TSK-Gel G3000SW XL column (7.8 mm × 300 mm) (Tosoh Co., Tokyo, Japan), eluting with 0.1 mol/L MES buffer (pH 6.5) containing 0.1 mol/L NaCl at flow rate of 0.45 mL/min at 35 ∘ C. RI intensity and light scattering intensity at different angles were used to calculate cell wall polysaccharide concentration and molar mass distribution, respectively [33].…”
