Sustainable valorization of lemon juice pomace into bioactive pectin: Experimental cytoprotection, molecular docking, and DFT analysis against cadmium-induced oxidative damage.
This study uniquely integrates extraction optimization, structural characterization, cytoprotection, molecular docking, and DFT analysis to valorize lemon juice pomace pectin within a circular bioeconomy framework, distinguishing it from previous work limited to peel pectin or crude extracts. The extraction process was...
