Chlorophyll extraction from pineapple plantation waste through mechanical extraction

Optimization of chlorophyll extraction from pineapple plantation waste

“…However, upon increasing the storage time from 8 h to 8.5 h, TC content seemed to level off. This was due to the sample oxidizing in the environment with a longer storage time [ 16 ]. Wasmund [ 23 ] reported in their studies that chlorophyll content of vegetables changes or loses color during storage due to chlorophyll degradation.…”

“…In this preliminary study, the experiment was conducted based on their best condition from the previous study [ 16 ]. Table 1 shows the four factors with their best conditions that affected the chlorophyll extracted.…”

“…Based on the preliminary research, the two most important factors in obtaining the optimum TC concentration (mg/L) were further optimized [ 16 ]. The factors investigated were the extraction cycle and storage time (hours).…”

“…To validate the model, the percentage error between actual and predicted values was calculated using Eq. (4) [ 16 ]. …”
