https://doi.org/10.24054/limentech.v23i1.3703Keywords:
Passiflora edulis, extraction methofs, pectin, additiverAbstract
Passion fruit peel (Passiflora edulis) is a by-product that has been recognized as a source of pectin with functional and technological properties and an alternative to conventional pectin. In order to obtain it, research has shown that different extraction methods can be used, where the process parameters influence its composition and quality. Pectin as an additive in food development is of great importance for the elaboration of different products. This review investigates the composition of passion fruit peel pectin, extraction methods and its application in the food industry.
