Holistic approach to microwave-reflux extraction and thermo-analytical fingerprints of under-utilized seed wastes.

The increase in wastes generated from jackfruit seeds has been largely under-utilized in Malaysia. Due to the high nutritional and medicinal content embedded in the cellulosic structure of jackfruit wastes, a need then arises for their physicochemical elucidations. In this study, the extraction of seed was carefully investigated using Taguchi orthogonal optimization design.
