Pectin is extracted commercially from

  • A.Rice husk
  • B.Oilseed cake
  • C.Bagasse
  • D.Citrus peel

Answer: D

Both residues are rich in the pectic substances of the middle lamella, and acid extraction followed by alcohol precipitation recovers them. Pectin's gelling behaviour makes it valuable to the jam and confectionery trades.
