Abstract Background For centuries, Passiflora species have been used in folk medicine,
especially as sedatives and anxiolytics, and in recent decades have been exploited by the …

Yellow passion fruit peel contains a high level of pectin that can be extracted from cell walls
of plants. Direct boiling is a conventional method of extraction, which takes around 2 h to …

A plethora of solid substrates, cultivation conditions and enzyme assay methods have been
used for efficient production and estimation of polygalacturonase and pectin methylesterase …

Pectin is a heterogeneous branched polysaccharide with complex structure. Microwave-
assisted extraction (MAE) is more efficient in extracting pectin compared to conventional …

Modified pectin is a polysaccharide rich in galacturonic acid altered by pH adjustment and
thermal treatment used especially as an anti-cancer agent. The aim of this work was to study …

Vegetable waste represents a serious environmental problem for industries; however, it is
also a valuable source of pectic substances. This paper aims to highlight the advances that …
