Abstract
A study on extraction of pectin from gardenia peel was carried out. Water-soluble pectin was extracted with water first, then acid hydrolysis was used to extract water-insoluble pectin. The orthogonal experiment optimized the extraction process of water-insoluble pectin. The optimum extraction condition is: ratio of water to material 8.25 ∶1 at 90 ℃ for 120 min with pH value 1-1.5. The yield of water-soluble pectin is 13.2 %, yield of water-insoluble is 14.1 %, and total yield is 27.3 %. The pectin product extracted by this process contains methoxyl in a fraction of 4.93 % and pectin in a fraction of 82.4 %.
