Food and agricultural wastes have led to environmental and landfill issues. Nonetheless, biowastes can be converted into valuable bioproducts, such as pectin. Hence, this study investigated microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) optimisation to extract pectin from pineapple (Ananas comosus) peel. Micro...
