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.
Enzymes are substrate specific; meaning that their active site only allows for a certain substrate to bind - in this case, pectin, and the enzyme has no effect on any other biological molecules
Glucose can be both a substrate and a product in biochemical reactions. It can serve as a substrate in processes such as glycolysis where it is broken down to produce energy, and as a product in processes like photosynthesis where it is synthesized from carbon dioxide.
The substance on which enzymes act are called substrates.

NAD+ is a substrate in redox reactions because it serves as a coenzyme that accepts and donates electrons during cellular respiration to facilitate energy production.

pectinase is first isolated by Henri Braconnot
The optimum pH for pectinase is 4, if the ph goes either above or below this the pectinase becomes denatured
Pectinase is an amino acid polymer, aka a protein.
Reactant
An enzyme combines with a substrate to form a product through a series of chemical reactions. The substrate is the specific molecule that the enzyme acts upon, while the product is the end result of the enzyme catalyzing the reaction.
The substrate is the substance (or substances) that attaches to the enzyme's active site before the reaction occurs.The product is the substance (or substances) that is formed after the enzyme has worked on the substrate.///
Pectinase can be beneficial for the environment as it can be applied in bioremediation to break down pectin-based pollutants. However, excessive use of pectinase in industrial settings may lead to environmental concerns due to potential runoff and contamination of water bodies. Proper regulation of pectinase use is necessary to minimize its impact on the environment.
The chemical equation for the breakdown of pectin by pectinase is: Pectin + H2O → Oligosaccharides Pectinase catalyzes the hydrolysis of pectin into smaller oligosaccharides by breaking the glycosidic bonds within the pectin molecule.
