Effect of ammonium oxalate and acetic acid at several extraction time and pH on some physicochemical properties of pectin from cocoa husks (Theobroma cacao)

Abstract: Pectin was extracted from cocoa husk using two solvents (ammonium oxalate and acetic acid), extraction times (60 and 120 min) and pH (1.6, 2.6, 3.6 and 4.6). The pectin characteristics were yield, moisture content, ash content, equivalent weight, methoxyl, anhydrogalacturonic acid and degree of esterification. The result showed that the yield of pectin was 10.44 to 17.30%, the moisture content was 10.46 to 12.35%, ash was 8.45 to 12.93%, equivalent weight was 510.68 to 645.19, methoxyl was 4.62 to 6.01%, anhyd… Show more

“…Pectins are present in both SDF and IDF in the form of high methoxyl pectins for the former and low methoxyl pectins for the latter [17]. CBS pectin is sometimes considered a "low quality pectin" when compared to other commercial pectins [51,81] and is present in lower concentrations than that of citrus or apples (about 9% against 15% and 30% dry weight, respectively) [50]. However, optimizations for the pectin extraction process from CBS have been proposed [49,82].…”

“…The major raw materials used for the production of commercially acceptable pectins are citrus peel and apple pomace (May, 1990). Other sources include sugar beet residues (Yapo and Koffi, 2013), cacao husks (Theobroma cacao L.) (Nazaruddin, 2011), red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) (Woo et al, 2010), Kaffir Lime (citrus hustrix) (Shaha et al, 2013), chicory roots (Chicorium intybus L.) (Robert et al, 2006), mango peels (Koubala et al, 2008). However, most of these could not satisfy the industrial requirements which include high yields, best quality gels and functionality (Daniel et al, 2014).…”

“…The high equivalent weight obtained in this work is important due to that a higher equivalent weight is associated to a greater ability for pectin gel formation [52,53]. The equivalent weight is related to the amount of not esterified galacturonic acids in the molecular chains of pectin, which means that at higher esterification degree, the equivalent weight will increase and the free acid content will decrease [54]. The obtained value for the equivalent weight could be explained not only by the high DE of the pectin but by the use of citric acid, that is less aggressive than the acids that are traditionally used for pectin extraction [33].…”
