Journal ArticleDOI
Potential application of pectinase in developing functional foods.
TL;DR: Pectin-degrading enzymes, their industrial applications, and gene sources are summarized, which projects another application for pectinases, which is the use of enzymatically derived pECTin moieties in functional food preparation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspergillus carbonarius polygalacturonases purified by integrated membrane process and affinity precipitation for apple juice production.
TL;DR: Evaluation of the AAP enzyme preparations for apple juice preparation under conditions usually employed commercially demonstrated that the high activity PG did not result in good juice clarity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence that the glucoamylases and α-amylase secreted by Aspergillus niger are proteolytically processed products of a precursor enzyme
TL;DR: Identification of only the precursor starch hydrolysing enzyme in the protein extracts of fungal protoplasts suggested proteolytic processing in the cellular periplasmic space as the cause for the secretion of multiple forms of amylases by A. niger.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence that cleavage of the precursor enzyme by autocatalysis caused secretion of multiple amylases by Aspergillus niger.
TL;DR: Point mutations in this region due to ultraviolet radiation apparently caused the mutant to evolve with enhanced protease activity that degraded the precursor and accumulated Taka‐amylase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partially saturated canthaxanthin purified from Aspergillus carbonarius induces apoptosis in prostrate cancer cell line.

TL;DR: A mutant Aspergillus carbonarius selected for temperature tolerance after UV treatment, when grown in shake flasks, produced mycelia bearing yellow pigment, which suggested its application as a retinoid.
