Pineapple Peel

Pineapple peel has the potential to become one of the sources for pectin production due to the high content of pectin in its dietary fibre composition. Pectin is used as food thickener, emulsifier, stabiliser and gelling agent in food industry. The conventional extraction process with long operating hours at high temperature has been identified to cause thermal degradation of pectin molecules. Microwave technology application in pectin extraction has shown high potential to expedite the extraction process and produce higher yield. Therefore, this research was intended to investigate the effect of various factors (irradiation time, pH, temperature, microwave power and solid-to-solvent (S/S) ratio) of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) on the pineapple peel pectin (PPP) yield. Pectin extracted was then analysed for its dry weight yield percentage and degree of esterification (DE). It was shown that the pectin yield was significantly affected by pH, S/S ratio and microwave power. From this study, no significant effect of irradiation time was observed from 2.5 min until 20 min to the yield of pectin, thus longer time of extraction is not necessary in MAE. The highest yield of PPP obtained was in the range of 2.27 to 2.79% w/w at pH 2.0 and S/S ratio of 1:20. The result of DE (63.93 ± 0.30%) indicated that PPP is categorized in high methoxyl pectin (HMP) pectin type because the DE values were greater than 50%. This study showed that MAE is highly potential for extraction of high yield of PPP.

Microwave has been widely used in the extraction of many samples for its unique heating mechanism, short extraction time and high yield of extract. The microstructure characteristics of plant materials are closely related with macro-property and mechanism on mass transfer within matrix. Fractal geometry, with the ability to describe irregular objects provides a new language. Astragalus slice is a special and typical plant porous media. We characterize the microstructure of Astragalus slices irradiated by microwave at 600 and 900 W by using fractal dimension, with the aim to analyze the effect of the microwave power on the extraction yield and discuss further the relationship between the fractal dimensions and microstructure changes of sample during microwave assisted extraction process. It is found that the fractal scaling law of box counting method is not suitable for the apertures on the wall of trachea inside matrix, and Slit Island and mercury injection method may be used. Fractal dimensions of samples at microwave 600 W are smaller than that at 900 W. The smaller fractal dimension is in favor of effective components dissolution inside the slices, which led to extract with the 20 min irradiation of microwave at 600 W is higher than that at 900 W.

In this paper, the solvent extraction of molybdenum from 0.01-1 M aqueous hydrochloric acidusing tri-octyl phosphine oxide (TOPO) as solvent diluted with n-hexane has been investigated. The extraction efficiencies of TOPO inthe extraction of molybdenum werecarried out using conventional extraction and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) techniques.Molybdenum extraction efficiency wasdetermined by varying separately the different parameters affecting the extraction process including agitationtime, hydrochloric acid concentration, solventconcentration (in the organic phase), as well as the irradiation time and microwave power.The MAE technique greatly enhanced the solvent extraction of molybdenum where high extraction percentageswere obtained under favorable conditions. In some cases, thepercentages extraction of molybdenum obtained with two methods were comparable.The use of MAE technique also showed obvious advantages in terms of a drastic reduction of the extraction time as it was shortened from 15 min to 10 s in comparison with conventional solvent extraction method.

Phenolics Compounds

Vernonia cinerea is one of the medicinal plants with several potentials for treating different ailments. In the present study, Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) was employed in extracting phenolics compounds from this plant. However, different factors that affect this extraction method in the recovery of phenolics compounds abound, these factors need to be screened to determine actual contributing factor in order to minimize cost. Irradiation time (1-5 min), ethanol concentration (20-60% v/v), microwave power (40-80 W), extraction temperature (40-80 oC), and feed/solvent (1:10 - 1:18 g/mL) have been screened using two-factorial design for the recoveries of phenolic compounds from V. cinerea leaves. The results obtained in this study indicated that only microwave power, ethanol concentration, irradiation time and feed/solvent contributed to recoveries of total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) from V. cinerea leaves. Thus, these factors at these ranges can be further optimized to obtain optimal yields of phenolic compounds from V. cinerea leaves.

Background: Citrus fruits, especially clementines, are among the most consumed fruits in the world. Clementine consists of pulp (endocarp) and peel (epicarp) which are rich in carotenoids. After using fruit pulp, peels are usually discarded as waste; the valorization of the latter in the recovery of its beneficial components, mainly carotenoids, may seem to be important. Objective: The main objective of this study is to determine the optimal conditions allowing the extraction of a high carotenoids yield from clementine peels. Methods: The microwave-assisted extraction method (MAE) was applied for extraction of total carotenoids from Citrus clementina peels, and the response surface methodology (RSM) was used to investigate the influence of extraction parameters, including hexane concentration, microwave power, irradiation time, and solvent to solid ratio, on the extraction yield, then the results were modeled using a second order regression. Total carotenoids yield of clementine peel extract obtained under optimal microwave-assisted extraction conditions was compared to extracts performed using two conventional extraction methods (maceration and Soxhlet). Results: The optimal conditions for microwave-assisted extraction were 68% of hexane concentration using 561 W of microwave power during 7.64 min of irradiation time, 43 ml/g of solvent-to-solid ratio using two successive extractions. Under optimized conditions of microwave-assisted extraction, the recovery of carotenoid content was 186.55 µg/g dry matter (DM), which was higher than that obtained by the two conventional methods, maceration extraction (ME; 160.53 µg/g DM) and Soxhlet extraction (SE; 162.68 µg/g DM). Conclusion: From this study, it can be concluded that microwave-assisted extraction is an efficient method for carotenoid recovery and considering its high yield in reduced time, it could be recommended for extraction of these bioactive compounds from clementine peels.

Strong Absorption Peak

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) was used to extract chlorophylls from filter mud. Ethanol was used as the solvent. The optimal conditions for the MAE of chlorophylls were concluded from the study as the irradiation time, 50 s, the ratio of liquid to solid, 8:1 (mL/g), the extraction temperature, 40 °C, and the extraction time, 60 min. Compared with conventional extraction, the MAE of chlorophylls from the filter mud was more effective. The extraction time for MAE was 60 min with 0.277 mg/g chlorophyll yield, while conventional extraction needed 240 min with only about 0.259 mg/g chlorophyll yield. The Ultraviolet Absorption Spectra of the extracted chlorophylls showed that there was a strong absorption peak at about 663 nm. C=N, Mg-N and C-N was not seen existed from the infrared spectroscopy probably because that the mixed extracts were not purified and the chlorophyll content was less.

Soxhlet and microwave assisted extraction (MAE) methods were used to obtain non-polar compounds from pistachio hull. MAE parameters (liquid to solid ratio, microwave power, and extraction time) were studied to obtain maximum extraction yield. The optimal conditions were found to be liquid to solid ratio of 15:1 (v/w), microwave power of 250 W and extraction time of 12.5 min. The extraction yields were 9.81 and 9.50% for MAE and Soxhlet methods, respectively. The total phenolic content, antioxidant activity and tocopherol content of the extract obtained by MAE was found to be significantly higher than those of the Soxhlet extract (p < 0.05). The results showed that the extract contained α-tocopherols (567.65 mg/kg) and oleic acid (48.46%) as the major tocopherols and fatty acids. These findings propose that hull extracts can be considered as a good source of natural bioactive compounds and MAE can be a good alternative to the traditional Soxhlet method.
