Abstract:

The optimal microwave-assisted extraction conditions of pigment from navel orange skin were explored by single factor and orthogonal experiments. Results showed that the optimal extraction conditions were material-water ratio of 1: 80 (g/mL), microwave power of 260 W, microwave extraction time of 150 s. The achieved processing parameters were accurate and could be applied to produce pigment from orange skin.

Key words: microwave, navel orange skin pigment, extraction
