Pectin characterization and factors affecting pectin extraction from Citrus grandis L. Osbeck (Pummelo) peels

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) have been developed to increase the yield and quality of various plantbased constituents with shorter time of extraction. This research aimed to study the effect of four (4) factors towards the quantity and quality of pecti...
