In spite of burgeoning global demand for avocados, meeting consumer expectations for fruit
quality is an ongoing challenge. Flesh bruising and body rots (principally anthracnose) are …

Penicillium is a large genus of common molds with over 400 described species; however,
identification of individual species is difficult, including for those species that cause …

Mucor circinelloides produced an extracellular polygalacturonase enzyme, the production of
which was enhanced when various production parameters were optimized. Maximum …

The effects of pulsed light (PL) treatments combined with a quality-stabilizing dip on the
quality and antioxidant attributes of fresh-cut 'Golden delicious' apples was studied. Apple …

Polygalacturonases are extensively used in food industries for pectic substances
degradation. They are essential for fruit juice clarification due the degradation of insoluble …

Acidic endo-polygalacturonases are the major part of pectinase preparations and

In this paper, we report cloning of a pectate lyase gene from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens S6
(pelS6), and biochemical characterization of the recombinant pectate lyase. PelS6 was …

The blue mold fungus, Penicillium expansum, is a postharvest apple pathogen that
contributes to food waste by rotting fruit and by producing harmful mycotoxins (eg patulin) …

Pectinases hydrolyze pectin and make up 25% of global food processing enzyme sales. In
this study, we aimed to purify exo-polygalacturonase (Exo-PG) by using galacturonic acid …

An extracellular endo-polygalacturonase (PGase) was purified, after a single purification
step, from the constitutive and hyperpectinolytic CT1 mutant of Penicillium occitanis. This …
