In food and beverage sector, biotechnological applications of pectinase have been increasing day by day. However, subdued production volume and low purity of the pectinase in commercial scale still remain a challenge. As a result, researchers are continuously exploring the opportunity to express modern tools such as genetic engineering, metagenomic study, and metabolic engineering to exploit microbes as a promising source for pectinases. Although this enzyme can be found naturally in plants, microbial pectinases retained a high value preference due to its easy fermentation in different bioreactors and inimitable physicochemical attributes. Microbial pectinase has immense potential to contribute in different areas such as textile industries, pharma sector, paper, and pulp industry, environmental engineering, agricultural economics in addition to that food, and beverage industries. The assertion of gene manipulation for better production of pectinase by means of elementary molecular devices and conventional fermentation procedures has been correlated in this study to get a bird's eye view in the structure-functional relationship of the microbial pectinases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
