Physicochemical and antioxidant properties of Citrus macroptera peel pectin extracted by different methods and its impact on nutritional quality of strawberry jam during long-term storage

Discover Food, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 5(1)

Published: Feb. 1, 2025

This research explores the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of pectin derived from Citrus macroptera peel (CMP) by conventional heating extraction (CHE), microwave-assisted (MAE) at various power levels (600 W-6 min, 450 W-12 180 W-23 min), ultrasonic-assisted (UAE). MAE UAE resulted in highest yields, with CHE producing lowest. achieved equivalent weight, while showed a significant reduction. Methoxyl content increased levels, lowest CHE. Anhydrouronic acid exceeded 65% across all methods, indicating high purity. Low methoxyl (LMP, DE < 50%) was found methods except for W, which produced (HMP, > 50%). Functional properties, including water holding capacity (WHC), oil (OHC), swelling (SC), varied MAE-600 W showing superior performance. MAE-450 enhance activity, yielding higher TPC, TFC, DPPH activity than The choice method had impact on quality pectin, influencing its ability to preserve nutritional value strawberry jam over 90-day storage period. Notably, extracted using most effective maintaining both jam, particularly promising results.
