A plethora of solid substrates, cultivation conditions and enzyme assay methods have been
used for efficient production and estimation of polygalacturonase and pectin methylesterase …

Pectic substances cause haziness and high viscosity of fruit juices. Pectinase enzymes are
biological compounds that degrade pectic compounds. Nontoxicity and ecofriendly nature …

Pectinases are the group of enzymes that catalyze the degradation of pectic substances. It
has wide applications in food industries for the production and clarification of wines and …

Enzymes that degrade pectin are called pectinases. Pectinases of microbial origin are used
in juice clarification as the process is cost-effective. This study screened a pectinase …

Mango peel, a solid mango processing waste, comprises 15-20% of total fruit weight. This,
being a rich source of lignocelluloses, was used as substrate for carboxymethyl cellulase …

A pectin methylesterase gene, pme-zj5a, from Aspergillus niger ZJ5 was cloned and high-
level expressed in Pichia pastoris. The highest PME activity was 71.11 U/ml after induction …

Fruit and vegetable wastes create unhygienic conditions and pose a environmental
pollution. The utilization of such wastes as carbon sources for production of enzyme with …

Many phytopathogenic micro-organisms such as bacteria and fungi produce pectin
methylesterases (PME) during plant invasion. Plants and insects also produce PME to …

A novel endo-polygalacturonase (PGC-AN64) from Aspergillus niger HO32 was produced
(88.22 U/mL) on orange peel by-product (OPP), purified, biochemically characterized, and …

Pectin extraction of fresh Morinda citrifolia Linn or Noni using HCl at various concentrations
was studied. The highest pectin yield (9.89% w/w) was achieved by using 20 mM HCl …
