• Abstract : This work aims to develop value-added product such as pectin from solid waste by extraction process from unripe banana peels. Pectin is widely used as a gelling agent, thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer in different food processing operations. Chemically it represents a polysaccharide, which is generally present in different amount in cell walls of all plants. Pectin was extracted from unripe banana peel powder using Hydrochloric acid acids at 90±5˚C and at five different time period(1, 2, 3, 4,5) hour and at constant pH 2. Pectin yields varied from 7.5% to 13%. The best extraction condition using HCl acid were temperature 90°C, pH 2 and extraction time of 4 hours with a pectin yield of 13%. The structure of the product is confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Extracted pectin was characterized by the estimating parameters moisture, ash content, methoxyl content, anhydrouronic acid content, degree of esterification and equivalent weight
