Since no pectin industry exists in the Sudan, the utilization of citrus peel as a source of pectin might be economically sound and reduces it’s importation. On the other hand increase of waste value of citrus peel as a source of pectin could be achieved through extraction of other components from the waste. With respect to food processing, the common trend in this country is to study the use of pectin (different sources) in jam processing. The objectives of the study included the extraction of pectin from orange and lemon fruit peels as well as the utilization of extracted pectin in the production of jam and assessment of the product chemical and sensory quality.
