Secondary raw materials of coffee plant processing are an alternative source of pectin substances

Abstract

The article presents the results of studies of the content of pectin substances of secondary raw materials of coffee processing – pulp (СP). СP includes both the shell (skin, epidermis, exocarp) and the pulp itself (mesocarp). Industrial coffee varieties cultivated and processed in different regions of Ethiopia were selected as the object of research. The research results have shown that the coffee waste generated can be considered as a source of pectin substances for the development of functional nutrition products.
