What is Pectin Isolation from Cocoa Peel and Metal Adsorption about?

This document summarizes a study that isolated pectin from cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) skin and tested its ability to absorb copper and zinc metals. Pectin was isolated from cocoa skin using extraction with hydrochloric acid at pH 2.8 and 95°C for 120 minutes. The isolated pectin was analyzed for its yield, moisture, ash, methoxyl, and galacturonate content. It was then tested for its adsorption capacity of copper and zinc using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results showed that the isolated pectin
