This study aimed to investigate the effects of substrate concentration, pH, temperature, and duration on the yield of pectin extracted from banana peel. Increasing the extraction parameters resulted in higher pectin yield, but excessive substrate concentration, temperature, pH, and prolonged hydrolysis time reduced enzyme activity. The recommended extraction conditions for achieving a 10.80% weight yield were 0.103 g/mL substrate concentration, pH 5.0, and 55 degrees C for 120 min.
Banana fruits consumption generates about 35% weight of peel waste containing approximately 10.61 to 24 w/w% of pectin. Hence, improper banana peel waste management may induce various environmental and health issues. The objectives of this work were to study the effect of substrate concentration, pH, temperature, and duration on the yield of pectin extracted from enzymatic hydrolysis of banana peel powder. In this work, the crude enzymes were obtained via submerged fermentation ofKepok Kuning banana peel powder utilising Aspergillus niger and directly used without prior purification. Pectin extraction from banana peel powder was performed through hydrolysis using crude pectinases at various substrate concentrations (0.033 to 0.123 g/mL), pH (4.0 to 6.0), and temperature (40 to 70 degrees C) for 180 min. The increase of extraction parameters enhanced the pectin yield to a maximum value and then declined. High substrate concentration, temperature, pH, and monomeric pectin compounds formation at long hydrolysis duration were found to reduce enzyme activity. A recommended extraction condition is using 0.103 g/mL substrate concentration, pH 5.0, and 55 degrees C for 120 min to achieve 10.80% weight yield. Commercial implementations of the results can be worthwhile in solving the environmental problem and enhance the economic value of pectin-rich fruit peels and other agricultural wastes.
