High Pectin Recovery from Cocoa Husks Using an Autoclave Approach: An Analysis of Its Physicochemical, Structural, and Genotoxicity Properties

Pectin was extracted from cocoa husks, a food-processing biowaste, using an autoclave approach. A Box–Behnken design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM) were used to optimize pectin extraction. Three factors including extraction time (5–40 min), temperature (105–135 °C), and solid to liquid...
