Abstrakt: A crucial path for technological progress in the pharmaceutical sector entails refining extraction methods and enhancing raw material utilization efficiency to reduce manufacturing expenses. Our study aims to create a highly efficient consecutive extraction process for hesperidin and pectin, from immature dropped kinnow (Citrus reticulata) fruits. The extraction process was systematically investigated using a central composite design and response surface methodology, incorporating single-factor experiments to evaluate three independent variables: temperature (50–70 °C), time (45–120 min), and sample/solvent ratio (1:5 to 1:15 w/v) with the use of acidified methanol. The optimized conditions (70 °C, 120 min, 1:15), resulted in hesperidin yield% of 4.97 with desirability of 0.982. A substantial pectin yield of 23.10% was obtained with superior gel properties. Various physiochemical properties and techniques (SEM, FTIR, NMR, HPLC) validate distinctive characteristics and purity of hesperidin and pectin, making them promising for applications in pharmaceutical industries.
