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 product ans substrate of pectinase?
Pectinase is an enzyme that breaks down pectin which is found in plant cell walls. Used in degradation of plant materials, such as speeding up the extraction of fruit juice from fruits. Also pectinases have also been used in wine production.
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.
List 10 enzymes that are found in the human body?
Amylase- breaks bonds between carbohydrate molecules.Maltase- they target the sugars maltose, sucrose, and lactose to produce monosaccharides.Elastase- targets elastase to produce short-chain peptides.Trypsin- acts on proteins and polypeptides to produce short-chain peptides.Lipase- targets triglycerides to produce fatty acids and monoglycerides.
Lysosome is found in the body secretions called?
Lysosome is found in the body secretions called ________ and __________. saliva and lacrimal fluid
Why you are using enzyme blank and substrate blank instead of using a single blank to find out the enzyme activity?
I am working on pectinase enzyme assay. I incubated 900 ul of substrate for 10 minutes in the water bath, followed by adding 2ml of DNSA reagent, then 100ul of enzyme extract added finally i read the absorbance @ 540 OD. However the values are high. How can I troubleshoot high enzyme blank values in Pectinase assay ?
What are the industrial uses of pectinase?
Pectinase is an enzyme capable of breaking down a polysaccharide often found in plant cell walls called pectin. It is used to extract juice from puree.
Who discovered pectinase?
pectinase is first isolated by Henri Braconnot
How does pH affect pectinase?
The optimum pH for pectinase is 4, if the ph goes either above or below this the pectinase becomes denatured
How does pectinase affect the environment?
Pectinase will digest pectin, if there is any around.
Is pectinase a monomer or a polymer?
Pectinase is an amino acid polymer, aka a protein.
What is the product ans substrate of pectinase?
Pectinase is an enzyme that breaks down pectin which is found in plant cell walls. Used in degradation of plant materials, such as speeding up the extraction of fruit juice from fruits. Also pectinases have also been used in wine production.
How do you make pectinase?
Pectinase breaks down pectin and is really not one enzyme, but a collection of many enzymes. I am not sure how to make it.
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.
