Valorization of pectins from coffee wastes for the development of pectin-chitosan films
Coffee wastes are underused materials, largely available in coffee producing regions, which can be used to obtain pectins for the development of films for packaging. Coffee residual water (CRW) provided a phenolic and protein rich-pectic fraction (CRWP), which has 49 % uronic acid. This pectic fract...

| Sumario: | Coffee wastes are underused materials, largely available in coffee producing regions, which can be used to obtain pectins for the development of films for packaging. Coffee residual water (CRW) provided a phenolic and protein rich-pectic fraction (CRWP), which has 49 % uronic acid. This pectic fraction was used for the development of films with chitosan (Chit). Additionally, pectins extracted from coffee pulp with acid, Coffea arabica pectin (CAP), hot water-soluble pectic fraction (HWSP), and chelating agent-soluble pectic fraction (CSP), were used to develop pectin-chitosan films. Flow and viscoelastic properties of film forming solutions were assessed, showing better characteristics for the pectins from the pulp over those from the residual water. The different composition of the pectin fractions allowed to relate film properties with their structural features and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed interactions between pectin and chitosan in the films. Results showed that CAP-Chit and CSP-Chit films were transparent, hydrophobic, and had the best mechanical properties. These results demonstrate that coffee residual wastes have the potential to provide pectins that can be used for the development of films. |
