Abstract:
The extraction technology of pectin from fruits of Rosa davurica Pall. assisted with microwave was studied.Using extraction efficiency ( EE) of pectin as examination indicator, the extraction technology of pectin applying chlorhydric acid as extraction solvent was optimized. The optimum ratio between raw material and solvent, the p H of extraction solvent, the extraction temperature, the microwave power, the extraction time and extraction times were 1 ∶ 40, 1.5, 80℃, 500 W, 40min, 3times respectively. The average extraction efficiency of pectin was 0.787% under the optimum extraction condition, which indicated that microwave- assisted method can be applied for the extraction of pectin from fruits of Rosa davurica Pall.
