3. A BRIEF BACKGROUND ON THE DECISION MAKING TOOLS USED Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), developed by Saaty (34), is designed to solve complex multi-criteria decision problems. AHP decomposes the complex decisions in a hierarchical structure and makes it easy to manage the complex decisions in this way. So the decision maker can determine the trade-offs among objectives related to all criteria, sub-criteria and their pairwise comparisons. The output of AHP is a prioritized ranking…

Pectin yield was determined as weight of dry pectin against the weight of initial residues multiplied by 100%. Y=100(P/Bi) Where Y is the extracted pectin yield (%), P is the amount of extracted pectin in grams and Bi is the initial amount of sweet potato residues used to extract pectin. Equivalent weight and Degree of methoxylation The equivalent weight was determined according to the method by Barretina et al., (Barretina et al. 2012). 0.25g pectin was wetted with 5ml ethanol and topped…
(Gill and Yermanos, 1967a; Yermanos and Gill, 1967; Bari and Godward, 1970; Seetaram, 1972).

Linum lewisii, n = 9, seems less likely to hybridized with cultivated flax (Gill,…
