Pectinase is an enzyme that breaks down pectin through transelimination?and hydrolysis reactions. Pectin is a gel-like matrix that binds plant cells together. Hence, Pectinase is used to catalyse processes that involve the breakdown of plant components, like extraction of juice from fruits. This enzyme is produced naturally by certain microbes, yeasts, fungi, bacteria, and insects
