Thermal properties of the extracted samples of pectin were studied by means of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), performed with a TA Instrument SDT Q600 (New Castle, DE, USA) apparatus equipped with Universal Analysis 2000 software. In argon atmosphere, the samples were placed in an alumina pan and heated up to 650 °C with a scanning rate of 10 °C/min.
