Improving the quantity and quality of olive oil extraction is considered crucial for producers not only in Jordan but also worldwide. The present study aimed to enhance yield from fruits without compromising its by applying an enzymatic treatment technique during malaxation stage process.
 enzymes that were used this cellulase, pectinase, a mixture both at ratio (1:1). Each there was added...

The Passiflora cincinnata Mast. has high flavor and potential for wine other alcoholic beverages production. However, production, the presence of pectin becomes undesirable, as it influences efficiency fermentation process clarity final product. objective this study was to optimize hydrolysis in Caatinga passion fruit must production with pectinolytic enzymes, using a Central Composite Rotatabl...

Peptide antibiotic AS-48 was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, and reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The purified fraction was active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. AS-48 is a basic protein with an isoelectric point of ca. 10.5 and a molecular mass of 7.4 kilodaltons. Its inhibitory activity was markedly affected by sod...

Immobilization technology creates exciting new opportunities for commercial development in a wide range of industries. There are several reasons for using an enzyme in an immobilized form. In addition to more convenient handling of the enzyme, it provides for its facile separation from the product, thereby minimizing or eliminating protein contamination of the product. To date, pectinases have ...

Pectinases are industrially important enzymes. The aim of this work was the isolation of pectinases producing Bacillus species from soil sample and their identification by phenotypic tests as well as production and purification pectinases enzyme. Isolated bacteria Subjected to various screening activity and gives pectinases screening test positive i.e. bacteria produced pectinases enzyme. The e...

Response surface analysis was used to determine optimum conditions [2% (w/v) chitin, 57.5 degrees C, 38 min] for microwave irradiation of chitin to improve its enzymatic hydrolysis. V(max)/K(m) of cabbage chitinase toward untreated and microwave-irradiated chitin was found to be 21.1 and 31.7 nmol h(-1) mg(-2) mL, respectively. Similar improvement was observed in the case of pectinase in its un...

The range of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes and glycosidases formed by the phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was monitored following growth on 16 carbohydrate substrates. Endo- and exoenzymes capable of degrading cellulosic, hemicellulosic, and pectinolytic polysaccharides were secreted. Pectinolytic activities were produced constitutively on all of the substrates tested. Cellul...
