Pectin is a heterogeneous hydrocolloid present in the primary cell wall and middle lamella in
all dicotyledonous plants, more commonly in the outer fruit coat or peel as compared to the …

Abstract Valorization of Fruit and Vegetable Wastes (FVW) is challenging owing to logistic-
related problems, as well as to their perishable nature and heterogeneity, among other …

Background Fruits are the main source of pectin, with more than 90% of commercial pectins
being derived from fruit by-products. Fruit pectins are complex heterogeneous …

Background Proteins and polysaccharides are the most abundant biomaterials and often
present together in food and biological systems. The exploitation of protein-polysaccharide …

Background Food polysaccharides are referred to the polysaccharides that have been
approved for industrial usage in formulating food products, where they are generally utilized …

Pectin, a polysaccharide, is ubiquitously found in cell wall of higher plants. It is traditionally
used in the preparation of jam, jellies, and marmalades as a gelling agent. New applications …

Currently, pectins are widely used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries,
mainly as texturizing, emulsifying, stabilizing, and gelling agents. Pectins are …

Moderate alkali de-esterification can change the physicochemical characteristics and thus
the functional properties of high methoxyl pectin (HMP). The results revealed that de …

Fruit waste has significant valorization potential as a source of pectin for use in numerous
applications. The initial objective was to determine the optimal parameters of conventional …
