It is an enzyme. Any thing with -ase at the end means it is an enzyme. In this case it acts on pectin found in plants and fruits. Pectin+ase.

What is the role of pectinase in fruit juice production?

Pectinase is an enzyme that breaks down pectin. Pectin is one of the compounds found in plant cell walls; it is in the plate (middle lamella) that is the first part of the wall to be formed during cytokinesis, following cell division. Pectinase therefore helps to break down the cell walls. This * increases the volume of juice obtained (increases the yield) * lowers the viscosity of the juice (makes it more runny) * reduces the cloudiness of the juice, cause by suspended pieces of cell wall All of these effects improve the commercial quality of the juice.


How do the enzymes pectinase and cellulase aid in the extraction of DNA from strawberries?

In a strawberry to extract the DNA it is required to break down the cell membrane (both the membrane protecting the cell as well as the membrane protecting the nucleus) and pectinase and cellulase in strawberries are enzymes that are break down these membrane...at least in a strawberry.
