The effect of Pectinase concentration on the production of apple juice The aim of this experiment is to see the effect different Pectinase concentrations have on the production on apple juice. Pectinase is an enzyme which breaks down pectin, a polysaccharide found in plant cell walls. This enzyme is mainly commercially used to speed up the process of fruit juice production as the cell walls of plants are broken down more quickly. Therefore by changing the Pectinase concentrations, the results may show the effects it may have on how much apple juice will be produced. Hypothesis: As the concentration of the Pectinase increases in concentration, there will be more apple juice produced. However, after a certain amount of Pectinase concentrate, the volume and intensity of apple juice produced would not increase anymore because there is a limit of active sites in the Pectinase for the pectin in the cell walls...
