Influence of ripening stage on the microwave-assisted pectin extraction from banana peels: A feasibility study targeting both the Homogalacturonan and Rhamnogalacturonan-I region. (2024)
Journal Article
Mao, Y., Dewi, S. R., Harding, S. E., & Binner, E. (2024). Influence of ripening stage on the microwave-assisted pectin extraction from banana peels: A feasibility study targeting both the Homogalacturonan and Rhamnogalacturonan-I region. Food Chemistry, 460(Pt 1), Article 140549. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140549

This work investigated a sustainable and efficient approach of pectin extraction for banana peel waste valorisation and studied the influence of banana ripening stages (RS at 2,5 and 7). Although pectin content in banana peel raw material decreased d...
