© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Pectin from mango peel (MP) was extracted and studied by analytical and physicochemical methods in comparison to low methoxyl pectin (LMP). The results revealed that MP contained 68% galacturonic acid, and its degree of esterification determined by titration and 1H NMR were 76% a...
