Galacturonic acid

By-products obtained from red currant processing still contain large amounts of useful components, e.g. pectin. Pectin was extracted from red currant marc with water at a solid/liquid ratio of 1:10. To reduce the operating costs of further possessing, we concentrated the pectin solution by membrane

Hydrolysis of pectins extracted from sugar beet, black currant, and red currant were studied by Aspergillus niger polygalacturonase enzyme and strong product inhibition was found. A thermostated membrane bioreactor was applied for the reaction to avoid inhibition and vacuum was used in the permeate
