Optimization on Enzyme Extraction Process of Pectin from Pumpkin Peel by Response Surface Method
optimal extract conditions for the extraction of pectin from the pumpkin peel were researched,on the basis of single factor tests,response surface analysis experiment was designed by Design Expert8.0.6 the effects of the concentration cellulose solution.material/liquid ratio.extraction temperature.extraction pH were investigated through experiment.The optimum extraction technology were Obtained as follows:the concentration of cellulose solution 0.5%,material/liquid ration 1:24.63,extraction temperature 40 ℃,extraction pH 4.34.In this condition,the extraction rate of pectin was up to 16.25%.Under these conditions,the yield of pectin could be achieved to 16.3%.
