Description

Pectinase CAS NO 9032-75-1 is a complex enzyme system that catalyzes the hydrolysis of pectin, a key structural polysaccharide found in plant cell walls. This enzymatic action is critical for improving juice yield, clarity, and filtration efficiency in fruit processing. It is an essential processing aid for manufacturers in the food and beverage, textile, and agricultural industries seeking to optimize yield and product quality.

Application

• Fruit Juice & Wine Production: Enhances juice extraction, increases yield, and improves clarity by breaking down pectin to reduce viscosity.
• Food Processing: Used in the extraction of flavors, colors, and oils from plant materials and in the preparation of purees and concentrates.
• Textile Processing: Aids in the retting and degumming of natural fibers like flax, hemp, and jute by degrading pectinaceous materials.
• Animal Feed: Improves the digestibility and nutritional value of feed by breaking down non-starch polysaccharides.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Facilitates the bleaching process and improves pulp drainage by selectively removing pectin.
• Wastewater Treatment: Assists in the breakdown of organic plant matter in agricultural and food processing waste streams.
• Coffee & Tea Fermentation: Used to remove mucilage from coffee beans and aid in tea leaf processing.
• Research & Development: Serves as a biochemical tool in laboratories for studying plant cell wall structure and function.

Quality Control

Our Pectinase is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. Each batch is analyzed for key parameters including activity (measured in Polygalacturonase Units, PGU), pH optimum, temperature stability, and microbial limits to ensure consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, activity, and safety specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed tightly after use to prevent moisture absorption and loss of activity. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
