Abstract

Pumpkin has been part of human diet for ages to their health benefits, but consumption of these vegetables generates outer skin wastes that may lead to environmental pollution. The pumpkin peels are polysaccharide source that can be converted to reducing sugar. Pumpkin peels was hydrolyzed using (0.2N) sulphuric acid at temperature of 65-70°C. It was observed that the degradation has significant effect with respect to amount of peels taken and in turn sugar yield is around 40-50, each which is estimated by Bertrand�s, Benedict�s and Lane-Eyon method.
