Other names: Pectinase; Pectin methylesterase; Polygalacturonase
CAS Number: 9032-75-1
Grade: BR
Molecular weight: 20–60 kD
Activity: ≥500 u/mg
Activity definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of pectin to produce 1 μg of galacturonic acid per hour under the conditions of 50°C and pH 3.5, per gram of enzyme powder or per milliliter of enzyme solution.
Moisture: <8.0%
Appearance (for reference only): Yellow-brown powder. Produced by liquid deep fermentation of Aspergillus niger and refined, it is a highly active enzyme for dissolving pectin.
Usage: This product is for research use only and not for other purposes. (The following uses are for reference only) Used for hydrolyzing pectin and proteins. It can function alone or in combination with other enzymes to degrade pectin, producing galacturonic acid and oligogalacturonic acid, among others.
Storage: 2–8°C
