Using Effects
Pectinase is a group of enzymes that break down a central part of plant cell walls. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of reaction. These enzymes are an ubiquitous part of the fruit juice and wine-making industries. Also known as pectic enzymes, they are added to livestock feed to help animals better digest their feed. They are also sold as nutritional supplements for humans to aid digestion.
– Pectinase is added to livestock feed to help the animals better digest their food. This improves the health of their digestive systems and helps them to better digest nutrients.
– The food and wine-making industries frequently use these enzymes in combination with amylase, which degrades starch, to clarify solutions.
– Pectinase is also used when fruit is turned into pulp and then extracted to remove its juice because it has been found to improve the yield.
– Other uses for pectic enzymes in the food industry include softening fruit rinds to making peeling them easier, and to ferment coffee and tea.
