What is Pectinase? Uses of Pectinase in the Food Industry

In layman’s terms, a pectinase enzyme is a group of enzymes that are further used to break down the plant cell walls made of pectin. Now, pectin is found in the middle lamella of the cell walls of a plant. It is an acidic heteropolysaccharide. Pectin is found in other forms as well, namely, protopectin, peptic acid, and pectinic acid. These forms of pectin are present in different plant tissues. Coming back to pectinase, it breaks down the pectin polymer into galacturonic acid and monomer acids. 

The uses of pectinase is very diverse in various industries. For instance, they are used in the fruit juice industry, wine industry,  food products industry, coffee and instant tea industry. When pectinase is in its alkaline form, it is also used in the paper and pulp industry. On a commercial scale, pectinase is also used as a poultry enzyme. 

Pectinase: Overview of the microbial enzyme

Enzymes are basically proteins that act as a catalyst during various reactions. Pectinase is a group of enzymes that breaks down the pectin polymer into sugar monomers. This group has various uses across multiple industries. Pectinase can be classified into three categories based on its mode of action on substrate: – 

Polygalacturonase – breaks down pectin into smaller fragments through the process of hydrolysis.

Pectinesterase – breaks down the polymer of pectin into monomers through the reactionary process of trans-elimination. 

Pectin lyase – this form of pectinase breaks down pectin through the reactionary process of de-esterification. 

Polygalacturonase (PG) and polymethyl galacturonase (PMG) are two enzymes that act on α 1→4 glycosidic bonds of polygalacturonic acid and hydrolytic cleavage, respectively. 

Moreover, Pectinase can be easily found in fruits. It acts as a natural catalyst and plays a role in fruit ripening. Pectinase is also found in microorganisms, and this pectinase is used in large scale industries. Now, because microbes have the tendency to multiply themselves, industries produce pectinase through microbes in a controlled process. 

Different types of fungus, yeast and bacteria strains are used to produce pectinase. Pectinase produced by plants has higher activity and is thus more tolerant to alkali, acid and high temperatures. On the other hand, microbes’ produced pectinase has low activity and is less tolerant to high temperatures, acid and alkali.  This is the reason why industries prefer to recombine several microbes to produce pectinase with higher activity. It produces pectinase with higher pH tolerance and temperature ranges. 

Uses of Pectinase in different industries

Pectinase is characterised by de-esterification and depolymerisation reactions. Pectinase has multiple uses and is widely accepted as a sustainable enzyme. For instance, in the feed industry, pectinase is treated to increase bio-accessibility and improve digestion and nutrition in animals. 

There are also uses of pectinase in the textile industry. This enzyme is one of the main reasons behind the unprecedented success of the textile industry. Further, pectinase is also used to extract fruit juices from several fruits, namely, apple, grape wine, grapes, raspberries, and strawberries. While fruit juice extraction, pectinase is also used to purify the juices. 

Along with this, the pectinase enzyme is also used in the treatment of wastewater. The use of pectinase enzymes don’t end here. They play a vital role in textile processing and cotton bioscouring. Since the pectinase enzyme has the ability to break down pectin, it is also used in the process of making paper. 

When pectinase is combined with lipases, hemicelluloses, amylases, and cellulases, it is also used as an alternative for caustic soda. Besides this, the pectinase enzyme is also used to ferment tea and coffee and used to extract oil. Lastly, uses of pectinase are also found in the food industry, and its usage is discussed in the later section. 

How is pectinase enzyme produced? 

Pectinase is a naturally occurring group of similar enzymes. It is present in the fruits of plants and promotes ripening. The other naturally occurring source of pectinase is microbes such as fungus, bacteria and yeast. For commercial purposes, microbes’ produced pectinase is used because it has lower activity and can be controlled by industries. There are various processes that an industry can use to produce pectinase: – 

Solid-state fermentation 

It is a process where pectinase is produced by promoting the growth on a solid surface in the absence of water. Some industries partially use water in solid-state fermentation.  To extract the pectinase enzyme, a specific amount of buffer and water is added. 

Submerged fermentation

Both solid-state fermentation and submerged fermentation can produce equally effective pectinase enzymes. In this process, industries use liquid broth to culture the organisms. Submerged fermentation releases a colossal amount of effluents.

Now that the enzyme is extracted through the process (submerged or solid-state fermentation), it is essential to purify the extracted enzyme to increase its effectiveness.  There are many ways of purification that industries may use depending on their comfortability with the process. Purification can be completed through filtration, ethanol precipitation, ammonium sulphate precipitation, dialysis, or ion-exchange chromatography.

Uses of pectinase in the food industry 

The uses of pectinase enzymes is widespread. As aforementioned, they are used in various industries, but the most prominent use is in the food industry.  Even in the natural state, pectinase found in fruits speeds up the process of ripening. Pectinase enzyme is one of the best catalysts and has multiple uses in the food industry. 

However, pectinase is not used as a single enzyme in the food industry. Instead, it is combined with amylase, like the alpha-amylase enzyme. This combination is used as a purifying agent. Both the food and wine industries use it in the processing of their products. The most extensive use of pectinase is in the processing of apple juice. After the production, apple juice often turns into a turbid plant matter. Using pectinase degrades the gums and helps in the production of clearer juice. 

Apart from this, use of pectinase is also found to soften fruits and ferment coffee and tea.

The Effects of Dietary Fibers on Improvement of Glucose Metabolism

Authored by Yo Tsuchiya

Abstract

Dietary fiber (indigestible polysaccharides) intake is widely recommended as a nutritional therapy to improve hyperglycemia and diabetes. Many researchers have reported the beneficial effects of dietary fibers such as cellulose, pectin, inulin, and guar as regulators of glucose metabolism. In addition, new types of indigestible polysaccharides have been shown to be novel dietary fibers that attenuate postprandial glycemia. This review summarizes the understanding and progress of traditional and recent studies on the effects of dietary fiber on glucose metabolism.

Keywords: Dietary fiber; Glycemia; Diabetes; Glucose absorption; Intestinal microbiota; Proteoglycan

Abbreviations: SCFA: Short-chain fatty acids; PG: Proteoglycans; IMD: Isomaltodextrin

Introduction

Various medical and nutritional therapies have been developed worldwide to improve glucose metabolism disorders, especially hyperglycemia and diabetes. As a nutritional therapy for these disorders, dietary fiber intake suppresses postprandial increases in plasma glucose levels. It has been reported that intake of vegetables containing abundant dietary fiber before intake of carbohydrates attenuated postprandial glycemia compared to single intake of carbohydrates in normal healthy subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes [1,2].

Since the 1970s, dietary fibers, such as cellulose, pectin, guar, and inulin, have been reported to improve glucose metabolism [3-5]. Cellulose is a structural component of the cell wall of plants and a homopolysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to thousands of β1-4 glycosidic bound D-glucose. Pectin is a heteropolysaccharide present in apples and citrus fruits. Its main component was galacturonic acid. Guar, also known as guar gum, is a galactomannan polysaccharide found in guar beans. It has been reported that these three polysaccharides attenuate the increase in postprandial plasma glucose levels quickly by decreasing glucose absorption in the small intestine [4-7]. To understand these mechanisms, researchers have suggested that the presence of dietary fibers in the intestine increases the viscosity of the luminal fluid and the thickening of the rate-limiting unstirred layer. Thus, these processes attenuate glucose absorption from the luminal to the serosal side. Inulin is a heteropolysaccharide mainly found in Jerusalem artichokes and chicory. It is composed mainly of fructose units and fructans with terminal glucose. Inulin intake has been reported to reduce postprandial glycemia over a long period, such as 1-2 months [5].

Discussion

Recently, novel mechanisms in dietary fiber’s effects on improving glucose metabolism disorders have been clarified. The intestinal microbiota is considered as indicator for managing type 2 diabetes [8,9]. It has been reported that dietary fibers and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) produced from dietary fibers by bacterial fermentation in the intestine affect changes in microbiota composition and relative populations of bacterial species [8-10]. These articles also reported that SCFA improves insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes. In addition, Shao et al. [11] found that inulin attenuates hyperglycemia in diabetic mice by improving the intestinal microbiota [11]. These studies suggest that SCFA is a key regulator of the dietary fiber-mediated improvement of diabetes via the intestinal microbiota. In the future, we expect to investigate the detailed mechanisms, including the molecular level, between SCFT and the improvement of diabetes.

Several new types of dietary fibers have been reported to regulate glucose metabolism. One of them is isomaltodextrin (IMD). IMD is a highly branched α-glucan that is produced artificially and enzymatically from starch. In 2017, Sadakiyo et al. [12] found that IMD attenuated the postprandial increase of plasma glucose level and that it occurred via suppressing both the intestinal glucose transport from mucosal side to serosal side and the activities of carbohydrate-digestive enzymes [12].

In 2015, Tsuchiya et al. [13] found that proteoglycans (PG) are new ingestible polysaccharide-like materials that regulate glucose metabolism [13]. PG is the major non-collagenous extracellular matrix component, particularly in cartilage and skin. Although it was not food originally, PG was purified abundantly from the nasal cartilage of salmon, not only as a therapeutic agent but also as a food product [13-15]. Tsuchiya et al. [13] found that oral administration of salmon PG decreased glucose absorption in the jejunum, thereby attenuating the increase in plasma glucose levels in rats. As shown in Figure 1, salmon PG belongs to the aggrecan family and is composed of a core protein section attached to glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains which is the polysaccharide part [16]. These GAG chains primarily contain chondroitins A and C. The GAG chains of aggrecans, such as salmon PG, are negatively charged and highly hydrophilic [17]. It is possible that these chains conjugate glucose and subsequently prevent glucose absorption.

Conclusion

Although many beneficial dietary fibers and polysaccharides have improved hyperglycemia and diabetes, the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying their effects are not clear. Further studies are needed to understand this. In addition, which kind of food containing dietary fibers and polysaccharides is the most useful for improving glucose metabolism? The answer is not the only one. We may select available food depending on the dietary habits and conditions of food production in each country and/or their local areas.
