Development and implementation of technological processes and modes of preparation of cotton fold for extraction of pectin substances

Abstract

The technology for the production of pectin from apple pomace, beet pulp, sunflower baskets and many other types of vegetable raw materials is briefly described. The quality of the final finished product - pectin, depends not only on physical and chemical processes, but also to a large extent on the quality and method of preparation of pectin-containing raw materials. An important place in the production of pectin is occupied by the processes of preparation of pectin-containing raw materials, hydrolysis-extraction and precipitation of pectin substances, on the correct implementation of which the yield and physicochemical parameters of the target product largely depend. In this regard, the preparation of pectin-containing raw materials, the research and development of technological regimes and processes for preparing the cotton flap, as a new type of raw material, are relevant and of great scientific and practical importance. Based on the research results, a technological line for the production of pectin from cotton flaps was developed. Pilot-industrial production of powdered pectin was mastered at the created experimental production “Buttermilk” of the Chinaz district of the Tashkent province, Uzbekistan. Moreover, 2.6 tons of food pectin were produced from cotton pods and on its basis 72.0 tons of marmalade were made for sale.
