Heavy metal is one of the most substances occur in water pollutants. It is harmful to humans and other living things. The biosorption of pectin from durian rind is used as a heavy metal binder. However, the type of pectin presented in organic waste is generally HMP (High Methoxyl Pectin), which previously should be demethylation. Durian rind used in this study are originated from Bogor West Java. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of pectin biosorbent in reducing the concentration of heavy metal (Pb II). Pectin extraction was carried out at 80 °C within a time variation of 1; 5; and 6 hours. The results showed that the most optimum pectin is with 6 hours of extraction time where the methoxyl content is 3.46%; weight equivalent 3860 % galacturonate content; the degree of esterification 20.29%; and lead (Pb II) uptake 97%. While durian seeds do not contain pectin.
