GEPZYME Pectinase

Juice extraction and clarification in fruits like apples, oranges, and berries.

GEPZYME Pectinase significantly enhances juice yield by breaking down pectin, a structural component in plant cell walls, making the extraction process more efficient. This enzyme also plays a crucial role in improving juice clarity by reducing viscosity, which facilitates easier filtration and faster processing. As a result, it contributes to the production of high-quality, clear juices with a better mouthfeel and reduced sediment.




GEPZYME Cellulase

Processing of fibrous vegetables and fruits like carrots and apples.

GEPZYME Cellulase breaks down cellulose, one of the main components of plant cell walls, which is particularly beneficial in the processing of fibrous fruits and vegetables. By degrading cellulose, it improves juice extraction, leading to higher yields. Additionally, this enzyme enhances the texture of purees and sauces, making them smoother and more homogeneous. The overall efficiency of the extraction process is increased, leading to cost savings and improved product consistency.


GEPZYME Amylase

Processing of starchy fruits and vegetables like bananas, mangoes, and potatoes.

GEPZYME Amylase is essential for the liquefaction and saccharification of starch in fruits and vegetables, transforming complex starch molecules into simpler sugars. This not only produces clear juices and smooth purees but also enhances the natural sweetness and flavor of the final product. The use of amylase can significantly reduce processing time and energy consumption, leading to a more efficient and cost-effective production process, while also improving the sensory attributes of the product.



Fruits and Vegetable Processing Enzymes

The fruits and vegetables processing industry is a cornerstone of the global food sector, transforming fresh produce into a wide array of products such as juices, purees, concentrates, jams, and canned goods.

Key Enzymes and Their Functions

Pectinase

  • Function : Pectinase enzymes are pivotal in the degradation of pectin, a polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. This enzyme is essential for juice extraction, clarification, and increasing yield during the processing of fruits like apples, oranges, and berries.

  • Applications : Used in the production of fruit juices, nectars, and concentrates, pectinase enhances juice clarity and reduces viscosity, leading to a more desirable product.


Cellulase

  • Function : Cellulase breaks down cellulose, another major component of plant cell walls. This enzyme facilitates the breakdown of plant materials, improving juice extraction and clarifying the final product.

  • Applications : Particularly beneficial in the processing of vegetables and fibrous fruits, cellulase is used to increase juice yield and enhance the texture of purees.


Amylase

  • Function : Amylase enzymes hydrolyze starch into simpler sugars, which is important in the processing of starchy fruits and vegetables. This enzyme aids in the liquefaction and saccharification of starch-rich materials.

  • Applications : Amylase is widely used in the processing of fruits like bananas, mangoes, and potatoes to produce clear juices and purees with a smooth consistency.


Hemicellulase

  • Function : Hemicellulase targets hemicellulose, a component of plant cell walls that holds cellulose fibers together. By breaking down hemicellulose, this enzyme improves the extraction process and reduces the viscosity of fruit and vegetable products.

  • Applications : Hemicellulase is used in the processing of various fruits and vegetables, especially those with high fiber content, to enhance juice yield and improve the texture of purees and sauces.


Protease

  • Function : Protease enzymes break down proteins, which can be beneficial in certain fruit and vegetable processing applications. This enzyme helps in clarifying juices and improving the texture of processed products.

  • Applications : Protease is often used in the production of clear fruit juices and in the preparation of vegetable-based protein products.


Glucosidase

  • Function : Glucosidase breaks down glycosidic bonds in glucosides, aiding in the release of flavor compounds and enhancing the sweetness of processed fruits.

  • Applications : Commonly used in the processing of citrus fruits and grapes, glucosidase contributes to the development of natural sweetness and flavor enhancement in juices and concentrates.


Advantages of Using GEPZYMES in Fruits and Vegetable Processing

  • Improved Yield : Enzymes like pectinase and cellulase enhance juice extraction, resulting in higher yields from raw materials.

  • Better Clarity : The enzymatic breakdown of pectin and other cell wall components leads to clearer, more visually appealing juices.

  • Enhanced Flavor : Enzymes such as glucosidase release natural flavors, enhancing the taste of the final product.

  • Cost-Effectiveness : The use of enzymes can reduce processing time and energy consumption, making the production process more economical.

  • Environmental Benefits : Enzymatic processes are eco-friendly, reducing the need for harsh chemicals and lowering waste generation.
