background: pectinases are pectin degrading class of enzymes including polygalacturonase (pg), polymethyl galacturonase (pmg), pectate lyase (pel), and pectin esterase (pe) that are commonly used in processes involving the degradation of plant materials, such as speeding up the extraction of fruit juices.objectives: a highly methylated pectin degrading bacterium from soil covered with fruit was...

Pectinase enzymes are one of the commercially important enzymes having great potential in various industries especially in food industry. Pectinases accounts for 25 % of global food enzymes produced and their market is increasing day by day. Therefore, the exploration of microorganism with novel characteristics has always been the focus of the research. Microorganism dwelling in unique habitat ...

Background: Pectinases are pectin degrading class of enzymes including polygalacturonase (PG), polymethyl galacturonase (PMG), pectate lyase (PEL), and pectin esterase (PE) that are commonly used in processes involving the degradation of plant materials, such as speeding up the extraction of fruit juices. Objectives: A highly methylated pectin degrading bacterium from soil covered with fruit wa...

Polygalacturonases (PGases) or hydrolytic depolymerases are enzymes involved in the degradation of pectic substances. They have a wide range of applications in food and textile processing, degumming of plant rough fibres and treatment of pectic wastewaters. Bacteria, yeasts and fungi under both submerged (SmF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) conditions produce these enzymes. Bacteria produce...

A gene encoding thermostable pectinase (TmPec) was isolated from hyperthermophilic microorganism, Thermotoga maritima. The open reading frame (ORF) of TmPec gene is 1,104 bp long and encodes 367 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 40,605 Da. To analyze the enzymatic activity and biochemical properties, the ORF of TmPec gene excluding putative signal sequence of 27 amino acids was int...

Vatanparast M., Hosseininaveh V., Ghadamyari M., Minoo Sajjadian S. (2014): Plant cell wall degrading enzymes, pectinase and cellulase, in the digestive system of the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Plant Protect. Sci., 50: 190–198. In digestion, the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, has been adapted to overcome the plant cell wall barrier, spec...

Response surface methodology (RSM) along with central composite design (CCD) was applied to optimize the freeze drying conditions for purified pectinase from mango (Mangifera indica cv. Chokanan) peel. The effect of pectinase content (-2.66, 62.66 mg/mL), Arabic gum (-1.21, 10.21%, w/v), and maltodextrin (0.73, 7.26%, w/v) as independent variables on activity, yield, and storage stability of fr...

The main purpose of the study was to provide a value addition; to a cashew industry by-product:Cashew Shell. Production of newly Pectinase enzyme by Solid State Fermentation and the enzyme has been optimized by using Cashew Shell as substrate has been standardized. Strain has been selected by assessing the fungal strains having the better survival capacity in CNSL and based on the Pectinase pro...
