Pectin is a complex and versatile polysaccharide crucial for various industries. It functions as thickener, gelling agent, emulsifier, low-calorie food. Its anti-inflammatory immunomodulatory properties have attracted biomedical interest, while its biodegradability biocompatibility make it valuable biomaterial applications. The effectiveness of these applications depends on the quality pectin extraction procedures. While traditional methods exist, green methodologies alternative techniques improved pectin’s physicochemical properties—a significant advantage industrial can be extracted from sources, with molecular structure functional groups analyzed through different characterization techniques. Modern include ultrasound-assisted extraction, pulsed electric field, moderate field mediated microwave-assisted subcritical water enzyme-assisted ohmic heating-assisted microwave heating hydrothermal processing, high-pressure processing dielectric barrier discharge extraction. This review examines methods’ advantages disadvantages, along their future possibilities; serves comprehensive guide researchers exploring new pectin-rich sources technologies commercial

Abstract This study examines the use of dragon fruit peel (DFP) powder as a dietary supplement on growth performance, immune responses, and gene expression Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus , cultured within biofloc systems. A total 300 tilapia fingerlings (14.64 ± 0.09 g) were subjected to five treatments, with DFP added basal diet at doses 0, 20, 40, 80, 160 g kg −1 DFP. Growth immunological responses assessed after 4 8 weeks feeding, transcriptional level antioxidant‐related genes was measured weeks. Fish fed diets containing exhibited significantly greater weight gain, faster growth, enhanced levels key indicators immunity than control fish ( p < 0.05). 40 produced best result in terms response skin mucus blood serum, upregulation IL‐1 IL‐8 LBP GPx GST‐α GSR Based quadratic regression analysis, optimum concentration 80 . These findings collectively suggest that powdered may serve promising feed for raised
