They represent valuable sources for the production of high-added value compounds such as …

Pectins are polysaccharides present commonly in dicotyledonous and non-grass
monocotyledonous plants. Depending on the source, pectins may vary in molecular size …

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 …

Over the last decade the world has been generating a high quantity of tangerine peel waste
(TPW), pomegranate peel waste (PPW) and banana peel waste (BPW). These peels have …

Pectins are defined as a group of widely distributed plant cell wall polysaccharides that
contain galacturonic acid linked at both the 1 and 4 positions. The wide use of pectin as an …

Pectin is a structural heteropolysaccharide found ubiquitously in terrestrial plants. It finds
diverse food applications such as that of a gelling agent, stabilizer, and fat replacer. In the …

Industries in the agro‐food sector are the largest generators of waste in the world. Agro‐food
wastes and by products originate from the natural process of senescence, pretreatment …

The impacts of three extraction techniques, including hot water extraction (HWE),
pressurized water extraction (PWE), and microwave assisted extraction (MAE), on the …

Perishable foods like fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, and dairy products have short shelf-
life that causes significant postharvest losses, which poses a major challenge for food …

Fruit and vegetable wastes derived from the agri-food industry are generated in large
amounts and they can cause great environmental contamination because they have a high …
