Enzymes are most significant products for human needs in the broad area of environmental, industrial and food technology through microbial sources. Pectinase are cluster of enzymes that help in breakdown of pectic substances which are mostly present in plant tissues. They have enormous applications in paper, fruit and textile industries. Microbial pectinase makes a quarter sales of global food enzymes. Actinomycetes are active degraders of plant debris thereby it can produce extracellular enzymes like xylanase, cellulase and pectinase. About 80% of the metabolites produced by Actinomycetes species rise from streptomyces sp. Only limited information is available on the pectinase enzyme system of actinomycetes. This review article mainly emphasis on the production of pectinase enzyme from actinomycetes mainly concerned about streptomyces sp. and their applications in industries. Due to their enzyme activity over a vast range of pH and good thermal stability it may be desired option to be utilized in industries in mere future. © 2015, Sphinx Knowledge House.
