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.
