Pectinase

Pectinase is a versatile enzyme that breaks down plant pectin, improving juice clarity, processing efficiency, nutrient availability, and performance across food, feed, and industrial applications.

BeimooBio Pectinase is a high-performance enzyme designed to break down pectin in plant-based materials. It supports clearer juices, improved extraction, better feed digestibility, and more efficient textile and paper processing. Available for diverse formulations, it delivers activity under suitable acidic processing conditions and consistent results.

What Distinguishes Pectinase

Pectinase (CAS 9032-75-1) is a group of enzymes that break down pectin, a complex polysaccharide in plant cell walls. Available as a yellowish-brown powder, it supports applications across food, medicine, animal feed, and industrial processing.

• Hydrolyzes pectin’s glycosidic bonds into simpler sugars
• Includes polygalacturonases, pectin lyases, and pectin esterases
• Typically performs best within a pH range of 3.5–5.5
• Commonly functions at temperatures around 40–50°C
• Often derived from fungi such as Aspergillus niger

Benefits of Using Pectinase

• Improved Juice Production: Increases juice yield while reducing the cloudiness and viscosity caused by pectin.
• Enhanced Clarity and Color: Helps produce clearer, more visually appealing fruit juices.
• Better Wine Extraction: Supports the extraction of flavors and colors from grape skins during winemaking.
• Controlled Food Texture: Modifies pectin levels to help control texture in jams and jellies.
• Improved Feed Utilization: Enhances the digestibility of plant-based feed ingredients and supports nutrient absorption.

Why Use Pectinase for Plant-Based Materials?

Pectinase specifically targets the pectin present in plant cell walls. This activity makes it useful for processing juices, wine, feed, cotton fibers, and wood fibers. It can also support the extraction of plant-based bioactive compounds for pharmaceutical research.
