Technology development to obtain pectin from corn waste using enzymatic method

Pectin's ability to remove radioactive nucleotides and heavy metals from the human body makes it useful in the food sector for more than just creating colorful foods. During the extraction process, an acid hydrolysis method is used to separate the pectin from the corn cob's surface. Food business waste pectin is less expensive, which creates a constant problem for the sector. Due to a lack of facilities, maize cobs are not processed industrially since, after the de-knelting process, they are at best used as animal feed. Because corn cob pectin is so gelling, its modest use results in a high technological coefficient in the manufacturing of confections.
