Different extraction conditions were applied to investigate the effect of temperature, extraction time and substrate-extractant ratio on pectin extraction from cocoa husks. Pectin was extracted from cocoa husks using water, citric acid at pH 2.5 or 4.0, or hydrochloric acid at pH 2.5 or 4.0. Temperature, extraction time and substrate-extractant ratio effected the yields, uronic acid contents, degrees of methylation (DM) and degrees of acethylation (DA) of the extracted pectin using the five extractants differently. The yields and uronic acid contents of the extracted pectins ranged from 3.38-7.62% to 31.19-65.20%, respectively. The DM and DA of the extracted pectins ranged from 7.17-57.86% to 1.10-3.48%, respectively. The highest yield of pectin (7.62%) was obtained using citric acid at pH 2.5 [1:25(w/v)] at 95 °c for 3.0 h. The highest uronic acid content (65.20%) in the pectin was optained using water [1:25 (w/v)] at 95 °c for 3.0 h.
