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
