A novel process for extracting pectin from waste hull/hypocotyl streams during soybean processing is shown. Chemical extracting agents in addition to or in conjunction with heat and agitation are used to extract pectin from the waste streams. The pectin is then precipitated in alcohol, washed and dried. A process for whitening the extracted pectin is also shown.
