The role of surface functional groups of pectin and pectin-based materials on the adsorption of heavy metal ions and dyes

This systematic review examines the role of pectin and its derivatives in removing environmental contaminants, specifically focusing on how the surface functional groups (carboxyl and hydroxyl) of pectin interact with heavy metal ions and organic dyes. The review highlights that pectin-based materials can effectively adsorb pollutants through mechanisms like electrostatic
