Extraction and antibacterial activity of pectin from banana peels waste
Nowadays, banana peels are usually considered as wastes and are discarded during the processing, which contribute to the pollution of an environment. Hence, this study was aimed to extract pectin from banana peels using acid extraction method. The yield of pectin obtained was 27 % and the functional...
