Potential of pineapple wastes for Pectin recovery: A path towards waste valorization
Author(s): Prakash K Sarangi, NG Joykumar Singh and TH Anand Singh
Abstract: Majority of agricultural wastes and crop residues like cereal brans, sugarcane bagasse, peels, pomace and sugar beet pulp act as the vital sources for natural production of biochemicals. The production of natural pectin from various agro-wastes can be focused as the major biotechnological tool taking much demand against the chemical production processes. Investigation was carried out for conversion of pineapple wastes towards isolation of pectin as a part of waste management. About 60% of total pineapple fruit is regards as waste in form of peel, core, pomace and crown. Maximum pectin was detected from pomace part of the pineapple.
