Abstract
Valorisation of by-product streams is gaining more attention in recent years. Often these byproduct streams contain valuable chemical compounds that are currently under utilized. This report has examined the valorisation of potato fibres. Potato fibres are a by-product from the potato starch industry. Pectin appeared to be having the most potential to be valorised. A preliminary design was made, based on a carefully selected extraction method. This design was techno-economic evaluated based on the cost of the necessary equipment. The outcome of the report is that it is viable to extract pectin from potato fibres. However, many assumptions that were made in the report were not specific. Further research to specify these assumptions is necessary before conclusions can be made whether or not pectin can be extracted in a viable way.
