This work studies the microwave-assisted extraction conditions for recovery of polysaccharides from spent coffee grounds, including their effect on arabinogalactans and galactomannans polymerization and branching structural features. Temperature (140, 170, and 200 °C) has the most significant impact on total extracted mass (ηtotal soluble solids) and sugars yield (ηsugars), arabinogalactans (ηAG) and galactoman...
The data presented here are related to the research paper entitled "Structural features of spent coffee grounds water-soluble polysaccharides: towards tailor-made microwave assisted extractions" [1]. Microwave assisted extraction conditions were applied to spent coffee grounds for recovery of polysaccharides, namely arabinogalactans and galactomannans. Following an experimental design testing temperature, time,...
