AI Article Synopsis

  • Seven isolates from spoiled fruits and vegetables were tested for their ability to produce pectinase, with one strain identified as MPTD1 being the most efficient.
  • The study optimized various process parameters for pectinase production using Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken designs, revealing that yeast extract, KHPO, incubation time, NaNO, and KCl negatively affect enzyme production.
  • Positive factors for pectinase production included pH, MgSO, and pectin mass fractions, leading to a maximum enzyme activity of 2.43 (μM/mL)/min, marking the first report on pectinase production by this strain.

Article Abstract

Seven isolates from spoiled fruits and vegetables were screened for pectinase production using pectin agar plates and the most efficient bacterial strain, MPTD1, was identified as Optimisation of various process parameters was done using Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken designs and it was found that parameters like yeast extract, KHPO, incubation time, NaNO and KCl have a negative impact on pectinase production. Parameters like pH and MgSO and pectin mass fractions have a positive impact on pectinase production. The maximum obtained enzyme activity was 2.43 (μM/mL)/min. This is the first report on pectinase production by .

Characterization of Major Cell-Wall-Degrading Enzymes Secreted by spp. Isolate Z1-1N Causing Postharvest Fruit Rot in Kiwifruit in China.

Biology (Basel)

December 2024

Key Laboratory City for Study and Utilization of Ethnic Medicinal Plant Resources of Western Guizhou Province, Liupanshui Normal University, Liupanshui 553004, China.

Pathogen-induced fruit decay is a significant threat to the kiwifruit industry, leading to considerable economic losses annually. The cell-wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) secreted by these pathogens are crucial for penetrating the cell wall and accessing nutrients. Among them, species are recognized as major causal agents of soft rot in kiwifruit, yet their pathogenic mechanisms are not well understood.

Microorganisms are preferred as an enzyme source due to their short lifespan, high production rate, affordability, and absence of harmful chemicals in enzymes generated from plant and animal sources. Fungi communities are biological factories for many bioactive compounds such as the important industrial enzyme pectinase. The current study dealt with production, optimization, purification, biocompatibility, and application of fungal pectinase obtained from five plant rhizospheres (banana, jarawa, lemon, tomato, and wheat) at Fayoum Governorate, Egypt.

Enzymatic treatment shapes in vitro digestion pattern of phenolic compounds in mulberry juice.

Food Chem

December 2024

Department of Food Science and Engineering, Institute of Food Safety and Nutrition, Guangdong Engineering Technology Center of Food Safety Molecular Rapid Detection, College of Life Science and Technology, Jinan University, Guangzhou 510632, China. Electronic address:

The health benefits of mulberry fruit are closely associated with its phenolic compounds. However, the effects of enzymatic treatments on the digestion patterns of these compounds in mulberry juice remain largely unknown. This study investigated the impact of pectinase (PE), pectin lyase (PL), and cellulase (CE) on the release of phenolic compounds in whole mulberry juice.
