This study primarily investigated the possibility of extracting pectin from orange peels using water as a green solvent. The pectin powder was characterized. The results show that the extracted pectin had acceptable moisture content (8,21%) and high purity with the total anhydrouronic acid content of 82,7%. The degree of esterification and methoxyl content w 25,54% and 3,72%, respectively, which indicates the obtained pectin belongs to low methoxyl pectin able to form gel in the present of metal ions. The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrum re-verified its chemical structure. The work suggests that water can be an environmentally friendly solvent for pectin extraction. |
