Pectinase Production and Application in the Last Decade: A Systemic Review

Pectin classifications, mode of action and factors influencing pectinase production

“…Pectin, a substrate for pectin enzyme (pectinase) production can be derived from these plant wastes [14]. The pectin enzyme (pectinase) can be produced from these natural resources for industrial production such as the clarification of fruit juices [14][15][16]. The study harvests relevant literature that addressed the classification of pectin (the substrate for pectinase production); the mode of action of the enzyme and factors influencing pectinase production.…”

“…However, some elements reduce the interaction of the substrate with the enzyme's active sites, and these are given the term inhibitors [84]. Interestingly, a systematic review in the last decade on the production and application of pectinases and the investigation into both pectin and pectinase activity using flavedo and albedo citrus fruit peels have been investigated [15,16].…”
