Enzymes are chemicals that hasten chemical processes without altering themselves in the process. The employment of enzymes in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food sectors is encouraged by their many benefits over chemical catalysts, including tunable activity, high specificity, and high catalytic efficiency. Due to their numerous uses, industrial enzymes are in higher demand, which has prompted on-going research and development aimed at improving enzyme production and lowering manufacturing costs. Due to their numerous uses in diverse industries, pectinases have become one of the most important industrially important enzymes. The group of enzymes known as pectinases is responsible for hydrolysing pectin-containing compounds. Depending on the method of action, pectinases are divided into polygalacturonase, pectate lyase, pectin esterase, and pectin lyase.
