Citrus peel wastes, one of the major by-products of the agri-food industry, are a source of value-added compounds. In this work, a commercial pectin (PEC1) and one obtained by direct extraction from citrus fibre (PEC2), were hydrolysed and ultrafiltered at different cut-off (100, 50 and 30 kDa) and then tested in broth with four different probiotic strains: and subsp. In addition, the probiotic strains selected for their growth rate with the fractions of the two pectins were tested for tolerance to different pH values and bile salts. This study demonstrated that POS2 (product from the enzymatic hydrolysis by PEC2) showed greater prebiotic activity than POS1 (product from the enzymatic hydrolysis by PEC1). The results confirmed that citrus pectic oligosaccharides could be used as emerging prebiotics with improved properties due to their antimicrobial and modulating-microbiota ability.

Steam explosion (STEX) of peel from commercially juice-extracted oranges was used to convert peel pectin into pectic oligosaccharides (POSs). Surprisingly uniform populations, based on the polydispersity index (PDI; weight-average molecular weight (M)/number-average molecular weight (M)) of POSs, were obtained from the Hamlin and Valencia varieties of . The POSs from Hamlin and Valencia peel had PDI values of (1.

RG-I pectin has excellent health benefits, but its raw materials are relatively scarce, and its complex structure often breaks down its side-chain structure during the extraction process. In this study, the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of a branched-chain-rich pectin gained from watermelon peel were demonstrated, and the structure-function relationships of RG-I-enriched pectin and emulsification properties were investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high-performance anion exchange chromatography, high-performance gel permeation chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and methylation analyses reveal it as acetylated, low-methoxylated pectin, rich in RG-I side chains (MW: 1991 kDa, RG-I = 66.

This article explores the use of citrus residues as a source of different pectic materials for packaging film production: a water-soluble orange residue extract (WSE) (~5% pectin), semi-pure pectins extracted in citric acid (SP) (~50% pectin), and commercial pure citrus pectins (CP). First, these materials were characterized in terms of chemical composition. Then, films were produced using them pure or mixed with chitosan or glycerol through solvent-casting.

The rose essential oil industry generates large quantities of solid byproducts yearly. These by-products, usually discarded, could yield valuable substances, such as pectic polysaccharides, widely used in the food industry as jelling agents. Seven industrial by-products were investigated as a source of pectic polysaccharides: four samples resulted from the treatment of , two from , and one from .

Unlabelled: Orange juice by-products, including peel, segments, and seeds, account for more than 50% of the total mass. This study aims to valorize the peel and segments of Sai Nam Phueng ( Blanco 'Sai Nam Phueng') orange juice by-products by producing crude pectic oligosaccharides (POS) with prebiotic potential using pulsed electric field (PEF)-assisted enzymatic treatment. PEF was performed for 5 min at field strengths of 10 and 7.
