Fruit Juice Industry

enzymes are an integral component of modern fruit juice manufacturing and are highly suitable for optimising processes. Their main purposes are: increase extraction of juice from raw material, increase processing efficiency (pressing, solid settling or removal), and generate a final product that is clear and visually attractive.

  • Improved extraction: Enzymes such as pectinase can break down the pectin in fruit cell walls, making it easier to extract juice from the fruit.

  • Increased yield: Enzymes can help to extract more juice from the same amount of fruit, increasing the yield and reducing waste.

  • Improved clarity: Enzymes such as protease can break down proteins that cause haze in juice, resulting in a clearer product.

  • Enhanced flavour: Enzymes such as cellulase can break down cell walls and release flavour compounds, resulting in a more flavorful juice.

  • Longer shelf life: Enzymes such as catalase can reduce the levels of hydrogen peroxide in juice, which can cause spoilage and reduce shelf life.
