Application

Pectinase P0690 is a natural pectinase (polygalacturonase) produced by Aspergillus niger. This enzyme breaks down pectin found in the middle lamella of plant cell walls. Pectinase helps facilitate the maceration of plant materials and extraction processes including organelle preparation.
Used in plant protoplast preparation to digest cell wall prior to organelle isolation.

Unit Definition

One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of galacturonic acid from polygalacturonic acid per min at pH 4.0 at 25 °C.

Antisense-mediated down-regulation of the fruit-specific polygalacturonase (PG) gene FaPG1 in strawberries (Fragaria×ananassa Duch.) has been previously demonstrated to reduce fruit softening and to extend post-harvest shelf life, despite the low PG activity detected in this fruit. The improved fruit traits
