Abstract:Exploration of pectin from Citrus depressa H. peels (CD pectin) could add value to the waste arising from Citrus depressa H. beverage products. Preliminary analysis showed that temperature and acidity were insignificantly affect pectin yield, degree of esterification and DPPH scavenging activity. In order to optimize the ultrasonication time and solid: solvent ratio (SLR) of CD pectin extraction, response surface methodology central composite design (RSM-CCD) was used as the statistical tool. The optimum UAE c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
