Abstract Background Cocoa Pod Husk (CPH) is the main by-product from the coca industry
constituting 67–76% of the cocoa fruit weight. This waste represents an important, and …

Pectin, due to its simple and cytocompatible gelling mechanism, has been recently exploited
for different biomedical applications including drug delivery, gene delivery, wound healing …

Pectins were extracted from pomegranate peels with citric acid, according to a central
composite design with three variables: pH (2–4), temperature (70–90° C), and extraction …

Cocoa pod husk (CPH) is the main by-product (ca. 70–75% weight of whole fruit) of the
cocoa harvest, an important and economic crop in developing countries. It is a rich source of …

An ultrasound-assisted procedure for the extraction of pectins from grape pomace with citric
acid as the extracting agent was established. A Box–Behnken design (BBD) was employed …

Fresh and lyophilized watermelon rinds were treated with boiling ethanol for pigment
removal and then used to extract pectins giving rise to fractions FW and LW, respectively …

Different extraction conditions were applied to investigate the effect of temperature,
extraction time and substrate–extractant ratio on pectin extraction from cocoa husks. Pectin …

In this study, acidic extraction (citric acid) was used for the extraction of pectin from melon
peel. A central composite design (CCD) was applied to study the effect of temperature (35 …

After cellulose, pectin is the most abundant plant polysaccharide. For decades pectins have
been industrially produced from two types of raw material (citrus peel and apple pomace, by …

Pectic substances are a group of polysaccharides in plant cell walls and some mucilages,
which are endowed with multifunctional properties in muro as well as out of muro, such as …
