This study investigates the extraction of highly esterified pectin from C.microcarpa lime peels using both conventional heating extraction (CHE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) methods. The highest pectin yield was obtained by applying a high concentration (0.5M) of citric acid under conventional heating at 95โ. It was also observed that an increase in microwave power could improve the yield when using a low concentration of citric acid
