Application

Pectinase from Aspergillus aculeatus is used in plant protoplast preparation to digest cell wall prior to organelle isolation. It has been used to conduct partial saccharification of sugars. Pectinases are used to study their role in the invasion of plant tissues using phytopathogens, as well as various food processing and plant biotechnology applications. The enzyme from Sigma has been used to determine the content of quercetin produced and also to evaluate its rutinase activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pectinase is an active pectolytic enzyme preparation that is produced by a selected strain of Aspergillus aculeatus. It contains mainly pectintranseliminase, polygalacturonase and pectinesterase, along with small amounts of hemicellulases and cellulases. Pectinase hydrolyzes pectin, which is a component of the cell wall. They may attack methyl-esterified pectin or de-esterified pectin.

Commercial pectolytic enzymes were investigated for their influence on phenolics and antioxidant activities of asparagus juice. The antioxidant activity of asparagus juice was analyzed according to 2,2'-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) methods. The enzymes, with the exception of pectinase from Rhizopus
