Industrial applications of pectic enzymes : a review
Although pectic enzymes have long been used to increase the yield and clarity of fruit juices, it is only recently that technological innovations, such as the use of immobilization supports and continuous-flow systems, have been considered to optimize these fruit processing procedures. To our knowledge, this is the first review to focus on the benefits brought to the field by these new technologies and their potential for commercial applications.
