Extraction of pectin from watermelon rinds using sequential ultrasound-microwave technique: Optimization using RSM and ANN modeling and characterization.

International journal of biological macromolecules
This study aimed to optimize pectin extraction from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) rind using sequential ultrasound-microwave assisted extraction (UMAE) with artificial neural network (ANN) and response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of pH, s...

An Artificial Olfactory System Based on a Memristor Can Simulate Organ Injury and Functions in Air Purification.

ACS sensors
Artificial olfactory systems are receiving increasing attention because of their potential applications in humanoid robots, artificial noses, and the next generation of human-computer interactions. However, simulating the human olfactory system, whic...

Monitoring of soluble pectin content in orange juice by means of MIR and TD-NMR spectroscopy combined with machine learning.

Food chemistry
This study represents a rapid and non-destructive approach based on mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, time domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR), and machine learning classification models (ML) for monitoring soluble pectin content (SPC) changes ...

Pectin extraction from Helianthus annuus (sunflower) heads using RSM and ANN modelling by a genetic algorithm approach.

International journal of biological macromolecules
In this work, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network coupled with genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) have been used to develop a model and optimise the conditions for the extraction of pectin from sunflower heads. Input parameters w...

Pectic Oligosaccharide from tomato exhibiting anticancer potential on a gastric cancer cell line: Structure-function relationship.

Carbohydrate polymers
Pectic Polysaccharide (PP) from dietary sources has been known to prevent cancer growth and hence impede cancer progression. We evaluated anticancer effect of Pectic-Oligosaccharide isolated from Sour Raw Tomato (SrTPO); its bioavailability and struc...

Modified citrus pectin stops progression of liver fibrosis by inhibiting galectin-3 and inducing apoptosis of stellate cells.

Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology
Modified citrus pectin (MCP) is a pH modified form of the dietary soluble citrus peel fiber known as pectin. The current study aims at testing its effect on liver fibrosis progression. Rats were injected with CCl4 (1 mL/kg, 40% v/v, i.p., twice a wee...
