In this work, a backmixing-diffusion model was developed for continuous countercurrent extraction process. Various parameters/factors influenced the extraction were investigated for juice extraction. Important parameters/factors studied were solid to liquid ratio, solid retention time, extraction temperature, external resistance to mass transfer, size and shape of solid materials and degree of backmixing for solid and liquid phase. For juice extraction from pineapple, apple and pear, it was found that the backmixing-diffusion concept can be used through the whole range of operation time. The model could predict the concentration profile well for both unsteady state period and steady state one. The simulation was successful for juice extraction process.
