Food-Grade Pectinase for Fruit Pulping
This food-grade pectinase enzyme preparation is designed for fruit pulping and juice processing applications. It helps improve juice extraction efficiency by accelerating the breakdown of pectin and other structural polysaccharides in fruit cell walls, resulting in higher juice yield, improved flowability, and more efficient downstream processing.
It is suitable for a wide range of fruit juice production processes, especially for high-pectin fruits such as apples and similar raw materials. By enhancing cell wall degradation during pulping and maceration, the enzyme promotes faster juice release and reduces mash viscosity, helping processors achieve more stable and consistent results.
主なメリット
- Improves juice yield during pulping and pressing
- Enhances juice release by degrading pectin-rich structures
- Reduces mash viscosity and improves juice flow
- Supports clearer juice appearance and better processing efficiency
- Helps improve filtration performance and overall production stability
仕組みについて
Pectinase, hemicellulase, and cellulase work synergistically to rapidly break down plant cell walls, allowing intracellular contents to be released and increasing juice yield.
Among them, hemicellulase breaks down hemicellulose in pomace and fruit pulp into monosaccharides (such as glucose) and small amounts of oligosaccharides. Cellulase further degrades cellulose, and the β-glucosidase produced during this process can break down cellulose-derived disaccharides in juice into glucose, effectively reducing the content of cellulose-derived disaccharides.
推奨用量
A typical starting dosage is approximately 200 g per metric ton of fruit mash or juice. Actual dosage may vary depending on fruit variety, pectin content, processing temperature, pH, and target yield or clarity. For best results, processors should optimize dosage through small-scale trials under their specific process conditions.
申請条件
