Food-Grade Pectinase for Plant Extraction for Sugarcane Processing
This product is a food-grade pectinase enzyme preparation specifically designed for plant extraction processes, with a strong focus on sugarcane-based sugar production. By efficiently degrading pectin structures in plant cell walls, it significantly reduces viscosity, improves juice clarification, and enhances filtration efficiency throughout sugar processing operations.
This product is a specialized composite enzyme preparation produced using selected microbial strains and refined through submerged liquid fermentation. Its main active component is pectinase, which enzymatically breaks down water-soluble macromolecules such as pectin in sugarcane into shorter chains, promoting degradation or liquefaction. It helps mitigate Maillard reactions that can occur during sugar extraction and purification, effectively reducing viscosity, increasing filtration speed, and minimizing sugar loss carried away with mother liquor during filtration. It also reduces sugar loss into molasses, improves the quality of white granulated sugar, and supports energy savings. The enzyme system is well balanced, with synergistic action among different enzyme components.
產品概述
During sugarcane extraction and juice clarification, naturally occurring pectins form colloidal structures that increase viscosity and hinder solid–liquid separation. This food-grade pectinase targets these pectic substances, breaking down the cell wall matrix and releasing trapped juice, thereby improving process flow and separation performance.
The enzyme is well-suited for use in sugarcane juice extraction, clarification, and refining steps, where improved filtration speed, reduced turbidity, and higher-quality sugar liquor are required.
