The use of pectinase to extract juice from apple is a well-known school practical investigation. However, pectinase was first used industrially to clarify apple juice. Here we suggest an investigation of the effects of pectinase and amylase on their own and combined. This work has the advantage that it can readily be extended to incorporate other enzymes e.g., cellulase, amyloglucosidase (AMG) or be tried using other cloudy fruit juices. | ||||||
