“…An important subject of pectin research is to study the application of one extraction technique, as well as conducting a comparative study between two or more techniques used to isolate pectic polysaccharides from a plant source, together with an investigation on the changes of its physicochemical, thermal and rheological characteristics. The methods of pectin extraction reported in the literature include conventional acid extraction with a mineral or organic acid (mostly citric acid) (Colodel & De Oliveira Petkowicz, 2018;Patova et al, 2019), microwaveassisted extraction (Košťálová, Aguedo, & Hromádková, 2016;Maran & Prakash, 2015), ultrasound-assisted extraction (Hosseini, Khodaiyan, Kazemi, & Najari, 2019;Moorthy, Maran, Surya, Naganyashree, & Shivamathi, 2015), enzymatic extraction (Sabater et al, 2018;Wikiera, Mika, & Grabacka, 2015), subcritical water extraction (Liew, Teoh, Tan, Yusoff, & Ngoh, 2018;Muñoz-Almagro, Valadez-Carmona, Mendiola, Ibáñez, & Villamiel, 2019), and also combined techniques such as microwave heating extraction (Rodsamran & Sothornvit, 2019), ultrasoundmicrowave assisted extraction (Liew, Ngoh, Yusoff, & Teoh, 2016) and enzymatic-ultrasonic extraction (Yang, Wang, Hu, Xiao, & Wu, 2018). Some previously published studies have reported a comparison between techniques used for pectin extraction (Rodsamran & Sothornvit, 2019;Bagherian et al, 2011).…”
