From Table 1, the characteristic color of pectin obtained from the three samples were all brown while according to pectin are usually light in color, factors such as surface contamination, environmental factors, types of fruits used and human error might have contributed to the discrepancy in color, this could be due to the amount of acetone used for precipitation and purification during the experiment not been enough. In cold alkali, the pectin suspension obtained from the fruits gave a yellow gelatinous color which turned white when heated at 85 – 90 ºC for 15 min, however, stated that pectins are unstable under alkaline solution which corresponded with what was obtained from this research.
