OPTIMISATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ULTRASOUND ASSISTED EXTRACTION FROM PINEAPPLE PEEL AND COCOA POD MIXTURE USING RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY
This study aimed to optimise the ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) of antioxidants from a pineapple peel and cocoa pod mixture using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Ethanol concentration and sample ratio showed the greatest influence on antioxidant extraction. Subsequently, extraction time, temperature, and samp...
