Abstract:

In the present study, the pectin, a natural gelling plant polysaccharide was extracted from pomace portion of apples and oranges. Further the antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of pectin extracts were investigated. It was found that the yield of pectin content extracted was predominant in apples (20.60 %) in comparison to that of oranges (10.56%). The pectin samples extracted from apples and oranges were qualitatively evaluated for characteristic properties.
