| Abstract | ||
| The most commercial source of pectin are orange peels. This paper explains extraction Pectin from orange peels, juice processing industry waste using simple method with pectin yield 15.25%. The main objective of the present work is to prove the importance of using raw material of food processing industries such sweet orange peels in produce a useful product like pectin. Experimental observations affirm that the extraction of pectin from peels give high yield than filtration residue when taken after extracting orange oil through distillation. The most appropriate method for industrial production of pectin is the process by which orange oil is first extracted using the simple distillation technique followed by the extraction of pectin. The potential benefits of industrial pectin extraction from an economic and environmental point of view is extraction of pectin from orange peels process | ||
