Abstract: In recent Biotechnology Microbially derived pectinases have Industrial Exploitation and market
Potential. Pectinase are enzymes breaking pectic substances by hydrolysis of pectin and breakdown of complex
polysaccharides in plant tissues into simpler molecules with extra ordinary specificity, catalytic power and
substrate specificity. Pectinases are produced from a wide variety of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi,
actinomycetes, yeast. They are classified into polysaccharide hydrolases, polysaccharide lysases and
carbohydrate esterases. The production of pectinase from microorganisms involves screening and
Characterization of microorganisms, the downstream processes depend on the purity required. Enzyme assays
are performed, and the biochemical properties studied. Pectinases have wide applications; they find use in pulp
industry, in textile industry, in food industry and in water treatment, in friut industries; Clarification. The cock
tail preparation of pectinase enzyme in Industrial exploitation can hence be discussed.
Keywords: esterases, hydrolases, lyases
