    Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Muslu, Asli; Karasu, Salih; Bozkurt, Fatih; Dertli, Enes

    Pectin, which is one of the most important wastes of fruit juice industry, was extracted from orange pulp at optimum conditions (pH, time and temperature) and modified using pectinase. The effect of modification on the structural properties of pectin was monitored using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses. The bands at 1600-1800 cm(-1) which indicate the specific region and quality of pectin were detected using FTIR while galacturonic acid content was determined using HPLC. The results showed that the galacturonic acid content of pectin from orange pulp was determined to be 406.44 mg/g powder pectin while that of the modified pectin from the orange pulp was determined to be 465,34 mg/g powder pectin. In addition, flow properties of the pectin samples were determined using rheological analysis. The viscosity and viscoelastic properties of the modified pectin samples were revealed to be different from those of non-modified pectin samples. The consistency index values of unmodified and modified pectin samples were determined to be 0.0559 Pa.s(n) and 0.0046 Pa.s(n), respectively.

    Rheological and Molecular Characterization of Modified Pectin from Sugar Beet Meal

    Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Muslu, Asli; Dertli, Enes; Toker, Omer Said

    The pectin was produced from sugar beet pulp, one of the significant waste of sugar industry, at optimum conditions (pH, time and temperature). Then, the modification was carried out using pectinase. FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) and HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) analysis were performed to characterize the differences between modified and unmodified pectin. FT -IR analysis revealed the specific regions of pectin and 1600-1800 cm-1 bands. Galacturonic acid content was analyzed by HPLC. The obtained results revealed that the modified pectin had higher galacturonic acid content. In addition, flow properties of the modified pectin was also determined. The flow characteristics of modified pectin was observed to change.
