Pectin is a complex polysaccharide present in plant cell walls. Pectin is used as a gelling agent in multiple applications; however, in many cases this polysaccharide poses a problem in the manufacture of foods and beverages and this is then when Biocatalysts can help you.

Pectinases are enzymes widely used in the food industry. They hydrolyse pectin present in fruits and vegetables to help improve the throughput of your process. Whether you need to increase the juice yield during extraction, reduce the viscosity of your juice or remove haze… we have a pectinase to assist you.
