What is Pectinase？

Pectinase is a group of enzymes that break down pectin, a complex carbohydrate found in plant cell walls. Pectinases are used in various industries, including food processing to increase juice yield from fruits, in the production of fruit juices, and in the clarification of fruit juices. They are also used in the wine and brewing industries to improve the clarity and quality of beverages. Pectinases are produced by microorganisms, including fungi and bacteria, or can be obtained through recombinant DNA technology.

The appearance of Pectinase？

Pectinase is a type of enzyme and does not have a distinctive appearance. It is a protein molecule and typically appears as a white or off-white powder. The appearance may vary depending on the specific form of pectinase, such as crude extract or purified form, and the source material used. Pectinase can also be dissolved in a liquid, such as water or fruit juice, and appears as a clear or slightly cloudy solution.

The active ingredient of Pectinase？

The active ingredient of pectinase is the enzyme that breaks down pectin. Pectinase enzymes are typically composed of a protein molecule and contain a catalytic site that specifically cleaves pectin molecules. There are different types of pectinases, each with its own specific activity, substrate specificity, and pH and temperature optima. The specific active ingredient of pectinase will depend on the desired application and the source material used.
