We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency and waste prevention when used in cellulosic ethanol research.
Pectinase, also known as pectinolytic enzyme, is predominantly found in bacteria, fungi and plants. Polygalacturonate is one of the highly abundant enzymes among all the pectinolytic enzymes. Pectinase has a wide range of industrial applications including, fruit juice extraction and its clarification. In addition, it is also used in vegetable oil extraction, tea and coffee fermentations, bleaching of paper, in poultry feed additives and in alcoholic beverages and food industries.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Pectinases hydrolyses pectin, which is a component of the cell wall. They may attack methyl-esterified pectin or de-esterified pectin[4]. It is a source of pectinase activity, also containing cellulase and hemicellulose activities.
