Pectinase
Ideal for use in industrial applications requiring consistent performance.
Activity Definition
One Pectinase activity unit (U) is defined as the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes pectin to liberate 1 mg of galacturonic acid in 1 h at 50℃ and pH3.5.
Appearance
Light yellow powder
Acticvity
10,000 ~ 100,000 U/g
Shelf Life & Storage
25℃ , 12 months.
Temperature
40-70℃ (Optimum 50-60℃)

3.0-5.0 (Optimum 3.5)
Function
1. Pectinase breaks down pectins that bind fines and shives in pulp.
2. It improves drainage and washing, helping mills run more efficiently.
3. Pectinase pretreatment supports higher brightness with lower chemical use.
