High energy consumption in the pectin production

Using of environmentally hazardous strong acids

in the production (HCI, HNO3, H3PO4, H2SO4)

A considerable length of the production process

Inefficient binding of radionuclides

Increased consumptionof ethanol(Alcohol)

High cost of raw materials and the problems associated with its reduction in cost

Low saturation of the world pectin market

Problems of pectin production

The benefits of innovative technology

• The possibility of using dried and fresh raw materials, which will increase the working time of the plant up to 250 days a year.• Technology has a closed cycle of water supply, it saves resources.• The technology is implemented on a typical standard equipment.• The possibility of producing pectin from various types of dried raw materials reduces the dependence of the producer from the yield and season duration.

• Technology of production pectin from pumpkin was tested in the laboratory and industrial conditions of production.

• The presence of patents, which protecting technology.

• The presence of specification on the production of pectin from pumpkin.

• Elements of know-how technology was proven in industrial conditions at the factories of Spain and India.

• Pumpkin pectin has been clinically tested in the second Children’s Hospital of Kiev, in the areas of in the areas of Chernobyl contamination (at the Institute of Microbiology and Virology of NASU) and at the Kiev Postgraduate Medical Institute.

The volume of market and rate of market development

Distribution of pectin market among world producers

(in thousands of tons)

The world pectin market is currently estimated at 319 million U.S. dollars. There is a steady increase in the consumption of pectin on average 3,0 - 3,5% per year.

World production of pectin - 80 thousand tons per year.Consumption of pectin in Ukraine - 800 tons per year.
