Abstract
Indonesian Halal Product Assurance Law No. 33 of 2014 states all products circulating in Indonesia
must be halal-certified, including pharmaceuticals. Banana peel waste has the potential to produce pectin
compounds as pharmaceutical excipients. This study is aimed at determining the characteristics of banana peel
pectin as a potential halal pharmaceutical excipient. It has involved qualitative tests and established
characteristics of extract pectin by organoleptic test, acidity (pH) test, solubility, equivalent weight, methoxyl
concentration, galacturonic acid concentration, esterification degree, moisture content, and ash content. The yield
of pectin produced was 17.19%. The qualitative test showed positive pectin, the characteristics of a white powder
that is slightly ash, odorless, has a pH of 6.02, is soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol 96%, has an equivalent
weight of 5,000 mg, methoxyl concentration of 2.6%, galacturonic acid concentration of 73.92%, esterification
degree of 20.19%, moisture content of 7.139% and ash content of 1.6%. Based on the characterization results,
banana peel pectin is, by pectin quality standards, a pharmaceutical excipient, especially as a raw material for
manufacturing capsule shells, thickeners, and coating and gelling agents.
