This chapter describes the pectin production process from citrus residues. It discusses the importance of essential oils removal before processing through steam distillation, hydrodistillation, or solvent extraction. Also, it presents different extraction methods (acid hydrolysis, microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis, and hydrodistillation) that have been employed and different solvents that can be used for its purification. Since all these processing parameters can affect the final pectin yield and quality, a discussion is made on which processing options and conditions could be used based on recently reported data. The best operational conditions based on the percentages of pectin recovery and their relationship with quality parameters, such as the galacturonic acid content and degree of esterification are presented. Finally, a discussion is made regarding the opportunities for its integration under the biorefinery concept that could help to enhance several economic and environmental aspects of the process.

Yield And Quality

Awareness of virgin coconut oil (VCO) as a functional food supplement has grown enormously. The treatment of raw material and processing parameters is crucial as they affect the overall yield and quality of the oil. Meanwhile, the microencapsulation technology offers better handling, good oxidative stability, and longer shelf life of the VCO powder. Although good quality liquid and powdered oils can be obtained through sophisticated methods, the process involved is expensive and required high maintenance. By utilising dry kernel and coconut milk-based extractions methods, high-grade quality of VCO can be achieved. During microencapsulation, the spray drying method can preserve the phenolic and antioxidant compounds and maintain the low rancidity of the VCO. This paper evaluates the recent findings of the oil extraction methods and the development of VCO microencapsulation. These methods offer good quality, reproducible and economic viability.

ABSTRAK: Padina sp. merupakan spesies rumput laut cokelat (Phaeophyta) penghasil alginat, namun kualitas alginat yang dihasilkan tergolong rendah dibandingkan alginofit lainnya. Metode ekstraksi jalur kalsium diduga dapat meningkatkan kualitas alginat sehingga penelitian ini perlu dilakukan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengkaji apakah ekstraksi jalur kalsium dapat meningkatkan mutu alginat yang dihasilkan dari rumput laut Padina. Ekstraksi dilakukan dengan metode jalur kalsium konvensional dan jalur kalsium MAE (Microvawe Assisted Extraction). Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimental laboratoris dengan 1 perlakuan (kosentrasi CaCl2) dan 3 taraf konsentrasi yaitu 0,5 M 1,0 M dan 1,5 M. Parameter kualitas yang dianalisis meliputi rendemen, kadar air, Kadar abu, viskositas, pH dan FTIR. Hasil uji two way ANOVA menunjukan terdapat signifikansi rendemen dengan nilai 0,007. Metode jalur kalsium MAE dengan konsentrasi 1,0 M CaCl2 menghasilkan kualitas terbaik dengan nilai rendemen (26,83%), kadar air (10,67%), kadar abu (21,83%), viskositas (11,42 cPs)  dan pH (6,77). Hasil analisis FTIR menunjukan ke-2 metode ekstraksi menghasilkan natrium alginat dengan adanya sidik jari guluronat dan manuronat pada bilangan gelombang 930-890 cm-1 dan 870-820 cm-1. ABSTRACT: Padina sp. is a species of brown seaweed (Phaephyta) producing alginates, but the quality of alginates produced is relatively low compared to other alginophytes. The calcium pathway extraction method is thought to improve the quality of alginates thus the reason of the research. This research aims to examine whether the calcium pathway extraction improves the quality of alginates produced from Padina. Seaweed extraction was carried out using conventional calcium pathways and MAE (Microwave Assisted Extraction) calcium pathways. The research method used was laboratory experimental with 1 treatment (CaCl2 concentration) and 3 concentration levels : 0.5 M, 1.0 M, 1.5 M. Quality parameters analyzed includes yield, moisture content, ash contetnt, viscosity, pH and FTIR. The two way ANOVA test results showed that there was a significance of yield value of 0.007. The MAE calcium pathway method with a concentration of 1.0 M CaCl2 produces the best quality with a yield value (26.83%), water content (10.67%), ash content (21.83%), viscosity (11.42 cPs) and pH (6.77). FTIR analysis results show that the two extraction methods produces sodium alginate in the presence of guluronate and manuronic fingerprints at wave numbers 930-890 cm-1 and 870-820 cm-1.

Abstract Microwave-assisted extraction of Trigona propolis in closed vessel was applied to reduce the extraction duration and volume of solvent. The effects of operating parameters (temperature, duration, power applied and sample to solvent ratio) on the extract yield, total phenolic, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity measured by DPPH method were measured after extraction. Without temperature control, propolis extract showed improvement in yield and quality by extending the extraction duration at low microwave power. However, the yield dropped significantly and the ethanolic solvent was released when the vessel pressure increased dramatically at higher power applied. The effects of extraction duration, temperature and the sample to solvent ratio were further investigated using a constant power of 300 W with temperature control. As long as the temperature was precisely controlled below 125°C, propolis extraction can be accomplished in shorter time (15 min) and less solvent (sample to solvent ratio of 1:5 (w/v)) without degradation compared to maceration.

Clove Essential Oil

Background: Eugenol is the main constituent of clove essential oil. Past studies have found that clove oil has diverse uses in the pharmaceutical field due to its antioxidant, antibacterial and anesthetic properties. Objective: This work compares the performance of different extraction methods and factors and identifies the effect of the treatments on oil yields and eugenol content. Materials and Methods: Maceration, Hydro distillation, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), and Soxhlet were performed. The best technique was identified according to yield and content. Further studies were conducted to examine the effects of different factors, such as solvent types (ethanol and methanol) and sample-to-solvent ratio (1:10 and 1:15). HPLC UV-Vis was utilized in the analysis of eugenol concentration. Results and Discussion: Soxhlet extraction provided the highest yield (39.98%) and eugenol content (15.83%), compared to other methods. The results observed from several Soxhlet extraction factors showed that there is no significant difference between the different factors. In the meantime, methanol 1:15 provided the greatest amount of yields (57.83%) and eugenol content (22.21%). In this regard, the higher ratio resulted in higher eugenol content. Conclusion: The results obtained are less comparable because the processing time, the working solvent, and the separation technique were carried out differently for each method. In the meantime, as there is no past study that compared the selected methods and factors, this study’s findings will contribute substantially to fill the gap in this field.

Tillage System

The regional agroecological conditions, specific to the Transylvanian Plain, are favorable to soybean crops, but microclimate changes related to global warming have imposed the need for agrotechnical adaptive measures in order to maintain the level of soybean yield. In this study, we consider the effect of two soil tillage systems, the seeding rate, as well as the fertilizer dosage and time of application on the yield and quality of soybean crops. A multifactorial experiment was carried out through the A × B × C × D − R: 3 × 2 × 3 × 3 − 2 formula, where A represents the year (a1, 2017; a2, 2018; and a3, 2019); B represents the soil tillage system (b1, conventional tillage with mouldboard plough; b2, reduced tillage with chisel cultivator); C represents the fertilizer variants (c1, unfertilized; c2, one single rate of fertilization: 40 kg ha−1 of nitrogen + 40 kg ha−1 of phosphorus; and c3, two rates of fertilization: 40 kg ha−1 of nitrogen + 40 kg ha−1 of phosphorus (at sowing) + 46 kg ha−1 of nitrogen at V3 stage); D represents the seeding rate (1 = 45 germinating grains (gg) m−2; d2 = 55 gg m−2; and d3 = 65 gg m−2); and R represents the replicates (r1 = the first and r2 = the second). Tillage had no effect, the climate specific of the years and fertilization affected the yield and the quality parameters. Regarding the soybean yield, it reacted favorably to a higher seeding rate (55–65 gg m−2) and two rates of fertilization. The qualitative characteristics of soybeans are affected by the fertilization rates applied to the crop, which influence the protein and fiber content in the soybean grains. Higher values of protein content were recorded with a reduced tillage system, i.e., 38.90 g kg−1 DM in the variant with one single rate of fertilization at a seeding rate of 45 gg per m−2 and 38.72 g kg−1 DM in the variant with two fertilizations at a seeding rate of 65 gg m−2.

The Impact

The study aimed to evaluate the effects of process parameters (time and raw material weight (RMW)) of conventional (boiling for 10–45 min) and microwave-assisted (2–8 min) aqueous extraction on the color quality (i.e., lightness (L*), chroma (C*), and hue (H°) of anthocyanin –based colorants of red and Inubi sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) leaves. Using response surface methodology, it was found that RMW and boiling time (BT) and microwave time (MT) generally had a significant (p < 0.05) effect on the color quality of the extract from both extraction methods. The effects were found to vary depending on the extraction method and variety of the leaves used. Both extraction methods produced a brown to brick-red extract from the Inubi variety that turned red-violet to pink when acidified. The red sweet potato leaves produced a deep violet colored extract that also turned red-violet when acidified. It is recommended that the anthocyanin content of the extracts be measured to validate the impact of the methods on the active agent. Nevertheless, the outcomes in this study may serve as baseline data for further studies on the potential of sweet potato leaf colorants (SPLC) as a colorant with functional properties.
