Thermo Scientific™ Pectinase from Aspergillus Niger, ≥20.0 units/mg

Thermo Scientific™ Pectinase, derived from Aspergillus niger, is a lyophilized enzyme preparation widely used in plant biology and food biotechnology. This high-activity pectinase preparation is optimized for breaking down pectin, a structural polysaccharide in plant cell walls, enabling efficient cell wall digestion during plant protoplast preparation and organelle isolation.

In industrial and research applications, pectinase is instrumental in viscosity reduction, clarification, and filtration enhancement, particularly in the fruit juice and wine production industries. It prevents pectin gel formation, which can interfere with filtration and clarity.

This pectinase product offers high enzymatic efficiency (≥20.0 u/mg dry weight), is provided in a stable lyophilized form, and is ideal for various plant tissue, extraction, and bioprocessing applications.
