Hydrolysis of orange peel with pectinase and cellulase enzymes

Hydrolysis of polysaccharides in comminuted orange peel by commercial cellulase and pectinase enzymes has been investigated. High levels of conversion to monomeric sugars were observed after treatment with pectinase enzyme, but cellulase enzyme achieved only limited solubilization. The combination o...

Zusammenfassung:Hydrolysis of polysaccharides in comminuted orange peel by commercial cellulase and pectinase enzymes has been investigated. High levels of conversion to monomeric sugars were observed after treatment with pectinase enzyme, but cellulase enzyme achieved only limited solubilization. The combination of cellulase and pectinase enzymes appears to be a most efficient system for enzymatic hydrolysis of polysaccharides in orange peel.
