EXTRACTION EXTRACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PECTIN FROM LEMON LIME PEEL WASTE (Citrus amblycarpa)

Research on the extraction and characterization of pectin from lemon lime peel waste (Citrus amblycarpa) has been done. The purpose this research is to process into raw material source, know quality extract obtained, using FTIR spectrum. To obtain results conducted several stages are extraction, precipitation, washing, drying continued with which includes determination moisture content, ash equivalent weight, methoxyl galakturonat level, esterification degree spectrum analysis determine absorption functional groups obtained. showed that yield% was 11.72%, water content 11.40%, 1.34%, weight 871.5, metoxyl 5.66, galactonate level 64.48 %, equal 49,84% result have conformity standard group OH, CH aliphatic, C = O, CH3 CO (secondary alcohol, carboxylic, ester, ether).
