Abstract

Pectins were extracted from banana peels of five different varieties using citric acid solution. The chemical characteristics of banana peel pectins were investigated and compared with citrus peel and apple pomace pectins which were extracted under the same extraction conditions to assess the potential of banana peels as an alternative source of commercial pectin. The yield of banana peel pectins ranged from 15.89 to 24.08%. The extracted banana peel pectins were categorized as high methoxyl pectin with the degree of esterification between 63.15 and 72.03% comparable to those of conventional pectin sources from citrus peel (62.83%) and apple pomace (58.44%). The anhydrouronic acid (AUA) content of banana peel pectins varied from 34.56 to 66.67%. Among various banana varieties being studied, pectin from Kluai Nam Wa variety had the highest AUA content (66.67%) which met the criteria for food additive pectin indicating its commercial significance as an alternative pectin source.

  • These pectin yields are similar or even higher compared to the pectin extracted from citrus peels and apple pomace (19.25% and 10.91%, respectively).

    “which is similar or even higher compared to the pectin extracted from the most commonly used substrates-citrus peels and apple pomace (19.25% and 10.91%, respectively).”

    From Potential Valorization of Banana Production Waste in Developing Countries: Bio-Engineering Aspects (2024) · cites this paper as [20]

    The Results and discussion section reports that banana-peel pectin yields of 15.89–24.08% were comparable to yields from citrus peel and apple pomace, and identifies apple pomace as the lowest at 10.91%. The passages available from our copy do not give the cited 19.25% yield for citrus peel, so that specific figure cannot be verified. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Khamsucharit et al. extracted pectin from the peels of five banana varieties within three genomic groups, with pectin yield varying at about 16.24%, 24.08%, 17.31%, 15.89%, and 19.48%, respectively.

    “Khamsucharit et al. [20] used the mentioned method to extract pectin from the peels of five banana varieties within three genomic groups, namely Kluai Khai and Kluai Leb Mu Nang of the Musa (AA) group, Kluai Hom Thong of the Musa (AAA) group, and Kluai Nam Wa and Kluai Hin of the Musa (ABB) group. The pectin yield varied at about 16.24%, 24.08%, 17.31%, 15.89%, and 19.48%, respectively”

    From Potential Valorization of Banana Production Waste in Developing Countries: Bio-Engineering Aspects (2024) · cites this paper as [20]

    The Materials and methods and Results and discussion sections identify the five varieties, their three genomic groups, and the pectin extraction. Results and discussion confirms a 24.08% yield for Kluai Leb Mu Nang and a banana-peel yield range of 15.89–24.08%. The passages available from our copy do not give the other four exact yields or verify their assignment to the varieties in the stated order; page numbers are unavailable. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Pectin extracted from the Kluai Nam Wa variety was the purest, meeting the criteria for a food additive.

    “Pectin extracted from the Kluai Nam Wa variety was the purest, meeting the criteria for a food additive.”
  • All banana peel pectin was characterized as high-methoxyl type, being similar to citrus peel and apple pomace pectin.

    “Moreover, all banana peel pectin was characterized as high-methoxyl type, being similar to citrus peel and apple pomace pectin.”
  • Wastewater from banana/plantain BP processing can be managed by physicochemical treatment with aluminum salts Al2O3 and Al2(SO4)3 combined with coagulation, flocculation, and decanting, which provides BP-cellulose, reduces water consumption, and reduces wastewater effluent volume.

    “This, however, can be managed by physicochemical treatment with aluminum salts-Al2O3 and Al2(SO4)3-combined with coagulation, flocculation, and decanting. This procedure not only provides another useful BP-cellulose-but also reduces the water consumption (treated water recycling) and reduces wastewater effluent volume [20].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
