Fruit wastes such as citrus peel, mango peel, apple pomace and banana peel were collected from fruit juice manufacturing industries and were subjected to pectin extraction. The results revealed that citrus peel is containing higher pectin content of about 24.5%. Characterization of different fruit waste were also done.

Pectin and cellulose were successfully extracted from passion fruit peel waste. The maximum pectin yield of the process was 12.60% at pH=2 for 1.5 h. The pure cellulose obtained from the passion fruit peel waste was prepared by refluxing of the passion fruit peel powder with 1 M NaOH and 1.25 M HNO3 solutions at 90°C for 1 h and 1.5 h, respectively. The passion fruit peel cellulose was converted to carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) by etherification. The pure cellulose was soaked in a mixed solution of isopropyl alcohol and NaOH for 1.5 h.
