Pectinase Enzymes

Pectinases are enzymes produced from Aspergillus niger that break down pectin, a polysaccharide found in plant cell walls, through hydrolysis, transelimination, and deesterification. Also commonly known as pectic enzymes, this group includes pectolyase, pectozyme, and polygalacturonase, one of the most widely studied and commercially used pectinases.

Description

Biolaxi Enzymes is a manufacturer and supplier of pectinase enzymes, providing high-quality enzymatic solutions for industrial and commercial applications. These enzymes play a key role in the fruit juice and wine industries. In fruit juice production, they help clarify juices and enhance extraction by breaking down fruit pulp. Pectinase enzymes are also used to extract juice from purée by breaking down pectin, making the process more efficient.

In winemaking, pectinase enzymes aid in extracting anthocyanins from fruit, enhancing the wine’s color. They also help release juices from plant cell walls. Additionally, pectinase enzymes are used in the textile industry for retting, a process that helps separate fibers from plant material.

Applications

Food & Beverage:

  • Fruit Juice Extraction & Clarification: Cloudy juice affects consumer preference and processing efficiency. Our pectinase breaks down pectin, reducing viscosity and improving filtration, leading to higher juice yield and enhanced clarity.
  • Wine Production: Poor maceration and insufficient color extraction can impact wine quality. Our pectinase promotes the release of pigments and tannins from fruit skins, resulting in richer color, improved mouthfeel, and better overall clarity.
  • Dairy & Plant-Based Beverages: Improves texture and stability in fruit-flavored dairy products and plant-based milk alternatives by reducing pectin-related viscosity issues.

Textile Processing:

  • Fabric Finishing & Absorbency Enhancement: Residual pectin in plant-based fibers reduces fabric absorbency, affecting dyeing and finishing processes. Our pectinase removes these pectin impurities, enhancing fabric softness and absorbency for improved textile quality.

Paper & Pulp:

  • Fiber Processing & Paper Formation: Pectin residues in wood fibers hinder smooth processing and paper uniformity. Our pectinase helps break down these residues, ensuring better fiber separation, reduced chemical usage, and improved paper formation.

Animal Feed:

  • Feed Digestibility Improvement: Enhances the breakdown of plant-based feed ingredients, improving nutrient availability and digestion efficiency in livestock and poultry nutrition.

Cosmetics & Personal Care:

  • Natural Extracts & Formulations: Used in plant extract processing for clearer, pectin-free botanical formulations in skincare and cosmetic products.

Usage Guidelines

Dosage:

  • Typically 0.05% – 0.2% w/w of the substrate, depending on the application.

Safety Precautions:

  • Avoid spills while handling the enzyme.
  • Wear hand gloves to prevent skin and eye irritation.

Storage Conditions

  • Store at a low temperature (2-8°C) in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
  • Keep the container tightly closed to prevent contamination.
