Enzymatic Extraction and Characterization of Pectin from Cocoa Pod Husks (<i>Theobroma cacao</i> L.) Using Celluclast<sup>®</sup> 1.5 L
Cocoa pod husks are a waste generated during the processing of cocoa beans. We aimed to explore the enzymatic extraction of pectin using cellulases. The extraction process was optimized using a central composite design (CCD) and analyzed by response surface methodology (RSM). The parameters optimize...
