Pectin was obtained from extraction oranges peel crust of kisar with HCl at temperature 90 °C during 4 hours. The content of albido and pectin are 69.17% and 82.82%, respectively. Identification functional group of pectin was using by FTIR spectrophotometer which OH-alcohol (3294.42–3373.50 cm-1), CH3-alifatic (2939.52 cm-1), C=O ester (1741.72–1730.15 cm-1), C=C alkene (1614.42–1643.35 cm-1), and C-O eter (1232.51–1276.88 cm-1).  Characterizations of pectin were equivalent weight (2011.6 mg), methoxyl content (1.17%), galacturonic level (41.64%), moisture content (28.46%), ash content (11.92%), and degree of esterification (15.95%).
