Abstract

Pectin is a complex polysaccharide that is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier. Extraction methods such as hot acid extraction have limitations in terms of time efficiency and yield. Therefore, the Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) method is a faster and more efficient alternative. Microwave-assisted extraction is a potential method for pectin extraction from rambutan binjai peel. Conventional extraction methods (direct heating) are widely used, but have drawbacks such as long process time, low yield, and the risk of pectin degradation. Environmentally friendly or green extraction processes are now being applied, one of which is microwave-assisted extraction.Based on research results, it is known that microwave pectin extraction has a higher yield and shorter extraction time compared to conventional methods. The best extraction results were obtained at a power of 540 Watts, with an optimal extraction time of 11 minutes and a solvent ratio of 1:20, with the highest yields being 7.53%, 7.11%, and 6.48%, respectively. The objectives of this study were (i) to determine the best microwave power in the extraction process, (ii) to determine the optimal extraction time, and (iii) to determine the best solvent ratio in the extraction process.

Abstract

Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) is a tropical fruit commonly grown in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia. High consumption of rambutan generates large amounts of peel waste, which remains underutilized despite its potential. Rambutan peel contains approximately 26% pectin and hemicellulose, making it a potential alternative source of pectin to reduce dependence on imports. This study aimed to utilize rambutan peel as an alternative source of pectin. The research investigated the effect of extraction temperature (70, 80, 90 °C) and extraction time (60, 90, 120 min) on the characteristics of pectin using a conventional acid extraction method with a completely randomized design (CRD). Temperature and time variables shows significant effects (P ≤ 0.05) on yield, moisture content, ash content, equivalent weight, methoxyl content, galacturonic acid content, and degree of esterification. Pectin extraction from rambutan peel at 80 °C for 120 min produced the optimal pectin yield (7.34%), meeting both SNI and IPPA standards.   Abstrak Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) adalah buah tropis yang banyak tersebar di Asia Tenggara, utamanya Indonesia dan Malaysia. Tingginyakonsumsi rambutan menimbulkan limbah kulit dalam jumlah besar, namun pemanfaatannya masih belum maksimal. Kulit rambutan mengandung 26% pektin dan hemiselulosa, berpotensi sebagai sumber pektin alternatif untuk mengurangi ketergantungan impor. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk memanfaatkan kulit rambutan sebagai sumber pektin alternatif. Penelitian ini mengkaji pengaruh suhu (70, 80, 90 °C) dan waktu ekstraksi (60, 90, 120 menit) terhadap karakteristik pektin menggunakan metode konvensional dengan ekstraksi asam serta rancangan acak lengkap (RAL). Variable suhu dan waktu menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan (P≤0,05) terhadap rendemen, kadar air, kadar abu, berat ekuivalen, kadar metoksil, kadar asam galakturonat, dan derajat esterifikasi. Ekstraksi pektin kulit rambutan pada suhu 80 °C dan selama 120 menit dapat menghasilkan rendemen pektin yang optimal (7,34%) sesuai dengan SNI dan IPPA.
