20120123102 | MODIFIED PECTINS, COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS RELATED THERETO - The present invention provides compositions of modified pectin and methods for preparing and using them. | 05-17-2012 |
20120190831 | Methods for Steam Flash Extraction of Pectin - Methods are provided for high temperature and short time extraction of pectins from pectin-containing plant materials. Generally described, the method includes mixing the pectin-containing plant material and an acidic aqueous medium to form a mixture; heating the mixture (optionally under pressure) to a target temperature by steam injection; maintaining the mixture under pressure at the target temperature for a time up to about 5 minutes; and flashing the mixture into a flash tank at a pressure from about 0.5 to about 1.2 bar to extract pectin from the pectin-containing plant material. | 07-26-2012 |
20120309946 | PROCESS FOR EXTRACTION OF PECTIN - Embodiments of the processes provided herein allow for extraction of high quality pectins from pectin-containing plant materials using oxalic acid for extraction of the pectin containing material. Generally described, the process for extracting pectin having a high degree of polymerization includes preparing an aqueous suspension of a pectin-containing plant material; adding oxalic acid and/or a water-soluble oxalate to the aqueous suspension in an amount sufficient to provide a mixture having a pH of between 3.0 and 3.6 and a total molarity of oxalate greater than a total molarity of calcium(II); heating the mixture to a temperature from about 50 to about 80° C. for a time sufficient to extract pectin from the pectin-containing plant material; and separating the extracted pectin from the mixture. The extracted pectin desirably is characterized as having a degree of esterification (DE) of at least 72 and a high degree of polymerization, the degree of polymerization being characterized by an intrinsic viscosity of greater than about 6.5 dL/g. | 12-06-2012 |
20150065698 | MICROWAVE ASSISTED CITRUS WASTE BIOREFINERY - There is described a method of isolating one or more of pectin, d-limonene, a flavour compound, a flavonoid, a soluble monosaccharide, a decomposition product of a monosaccharide and cellulose, from citrus material wherein said method comprises the microwave assisted hydrothermal low temperature treatment of citrus material. | 03-05-2015 |
20150376301 | METHOD OF PREPARING FIBRE-CONTAINING PECTIN PRODUCT AND PECTIN PRODUCTS HEREOF - The present invention relates to a method for providing a fibre-containing pectin product from a plant material. The method comprises the steps of: (i) providing a plant material comprising pectin, where said pectin is having a degree of esterification of 55% or less, (ii) adding an acidic aqueous solution to the pectin containing plant material obtained in step (i) and providing a suspension of the plant material, where the suspended plant material provides an in situ system by swelling the plant material under conditions where the pectin is kept within the plant material, and (iii) obtaining the fibre-containing pectin product from the suspension provided in step (ii), wherein the plant material is substantially depleted from divalent cations. | 12-31-2015 |
20160137753 | METHOD OF EXTRACTING CERAMIDE AND/OR PECTIN FROM WHOLE APPLES OR APPLE JUICE RESIDUE - The object of the invention is to provide a method of extracting useful ingredients: ceramide and/or pectin from whole apples and/or apple juice residues. In this context, the invention also provides a method of regenerating and recycling spent ethanol. These objects are achievable by a method of extracting useful ingredients: ceramide and pectin from whole apples and/or apple juice residues and a method of recovering and regenerating, or recycling the ethanol used for extraction. | 05-19-2016 |
