Derivatized-agarose supports are suitable for enzyme immobilization by different methods, taking advantage of different physical, chemical and biological conditions of the protein and the support. In this study, agarose particles were modified with MANAE, PEI and glyoxyl groups and evaluated to stabilize polygalacturonase from Streptomyces halstedii ATCC 10897. A new immobilized biocatalyst was developed using glyoxyl-agarose as support; it exhibited high performance in degrading polygalacturonic acid and releasing oligogalacturonides. Maximal enzyme activity was detected at 5h of reaction using 0.05g/mL of immobilized biocatalyst, which released 3mg/mL of reducing sugars and allowed the highest product yield conversion and increased stability. These results are very favorable for pectin degradation with reusability up to 18 successive reactions (90h) and application in juice clarification. Plum (4.7°Bx) and grape (10.6°Bx) juices were successfully clarified, increasing reducing sugars content and markedly decreasing turbidity and viscosity.

The juice processing industry offers several benefits, including promoting health and wellness through the delivery of beverages rich in nutrients. Nonetheless, the industry encounters significant challenges regarding new technologies for processing and preservation given that they can be costly and labor-intensive. In this study, magnetic Janus silica (SiO) nanoparticle which offers multifunctionality and high stability was synthesized and subsequently immobilized with a protease mutant T70I (T70I@MSNs) to serve as a clarifying agent in juice.

A recent trend in some wineries is the return to using spontaneous fermentation, but it is not clear whether winery flora or vineyard microorganisms drive fermentation. We compared fungal communities during the spontaneous fermentation of wine produced in a winery and in a laboratory with sterilized equipment using three grape cultivars (Chardonnay, Merlot, and Muscat Bailey A) obtained from the same harvest. High-throughput sequencing analysis based on the ITS1 region showed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae was the dominant species in winery batches at the end of fermentation, but it was not always dominant in laboratory batches.

Article Synopsis
- Cellulose, a key component of lignocellulosic biomass, can be broken down into glucose by cellulases, which are important for apple juice production as they help clarify the juice and reduce sedimentation.
- A new bacterial isolate, Bacillus licheniformis strain-MA1, was identified as a cellulase producer, and conditions were optimized to significantly boost enzyme production using agricultural waste such as corn cob.
- The optimized cellulase treatment led to a notable increase in apple juice yield (88.2%) compared to untreated juice (75.4%), along with a higher extraction of volatile compounds, enhancing the juice's quality.

This study aimed to isolate salt-tolerant pectinolytic bacteria from the rhizosphere of a salt marsh plant and utilize their pectinases for the clarification of detox juice preparation. Sixteen halophilic bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizospheric soil of . The isolates were screened for pectinase activity, and two strains, ASA21 and ASA29, exhibited the highest pectinase production in the presence of 2.
