Application of combined Box–Behnken design with response surface methodology and desirability function in optimizing pectin extraction from fruit peels
Abstract:BackgroundThis study aimed to extract pectin from various fruits peel, namely apple, orange, green citron and pomegranate, and evaluate the effect of experimental conditions. The extraction continued under 50–90°C extraction temperatures with the solid‐liquid ratio of 0.03 to 0.08 g/ml within 120–180 minutes. The Box‐Behnken Design (BBD) was applied at three‐level and four‐factor factorial design, including 29 experiments for each extraction with varied conditions. The interaction effects were investigated fro… 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.
