How do you obtain more juice from apples? With pectinase of course.

SOURCE

Pectinex is produced by a selected strain of Aspergillus niger.

USES

Pectinex is a mixture of several types of pectinases, designed principally for treating fruit and vegetable mashes and the maceration of plant tissues. The enzyme preparation can be used to increase the yield of juice from apples, etc. and also to peel citrus and other fruits. (See ‘In a jam and out of juice’ for details.)

ACTIVITY

Pectinex is a mixture of enzymes. The main enzymes it contains are pectintranseliminase, polygalacturonase and pectinesterase. As a side activity, Pectinex also contains small amounts of hemicellulases and cellulases. These enzymes exhibit optimum activity around pH 4.5, and at 50 °C. Please refer to the data sheet supplied with the enzyme product.

STORAGE

When stored at 3-10 °C, Pectinex maintains its declared activity (see data sheet provided with the enzyme product) for at least 12 months.
