Abstract:Citrus fruit waste is a potential source for valorisation into pectin. In present manuscript a PolyE‐IL‐1 as an efficient acid catalyst has been integrated for fractionation of pectin from citrus fruit waste. The use of PolyE‐IL‐1 catalyst has specific advantages in term of high yield, ease of catalyst separation, recycle and reuse etc. The process optimization study was conducted to check the influence of catalyst concentration, temperature, time and substrate concentration etc., to obtain maximum yield of pe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
