Pectinase: Substrate, Production and their Biotechnological Applications

DOI: 10.22161/ijeab/2.3.1

Abstract:
Pectinolytic enzymes can be applied in various industrial sectors wherever the degradation of pectin is required for a particular process. Several microorganisms have been used to produce different types of pectinolytic enzymes. Microbial pectinases account for 25% of the global food and industrial enzyme sales and their market is increasing day by day. Owing to the enormous potential of Pectinase in various sectors of industries whenever degradation of pectin is needed, this review broadly focus on types of pectin substances, pectinase, their production as well as their biotechnologically potential applications.

Keywords:
Pectinase, Biotechnological Applications.
