Abstract:Pectinases accelerate the breakdown of the glycosidic bonds in pectin into simpler forms. Pectinases in the study were produced using three extraction solvents, three fungi, and six substrates. Citrate buffer, distilled water and 0.1 M NaCl were utilized as extraction solvents. Penicillium sp, Pichia kudriavzevii F2-T429-5 and Aspergillus niger were selectively isolated from the environment and identified. The substrates include; wheat bran, banana peels, orange peels, corn cobs, Thaumatococcus daniellii (swee… Show more
