Ailazyme® MU is a powerful pectinase produced from a selected strain of Aspergillus niger. Ailazyme® MU is a macerating enzyme that has been specially developed for a quick hydrolysis of the soluble pectin leading to a better press ability of the pulp with all types of presses (horizontal, belt). The enzyme can be used at ambient temperature in the maceration of apples and pears during apple and pear juice processing. Ailazyme® MU contains a good balance of different activities such as pectin lyase, polygalacturonase, pectin esterase such as required for apple and pear pulp maceration. It helps the improvement of the production capacity and is aimed at achieving a consistent high yield increase throughout the season.

Food & Nutrition Applications
Use Level
50 – 150 g/ton (Apple and pear Mash), 50 – 100 g/ton (Apple and pear Pomace)
Utilization
  • Ailazyme® MU with an activity of 650 PLU/g is easy to use.
  • Upon dilution (10 – 20 times with tap water) it can simply be added with a dosage metering pomp to the fruit mix during the crushing stage to ensure optimal mixing with pulp. In this condition additional stirring is not necessary.
Application Dosage Recommendation
Apple and pear
Mash
50–150 g/ton 30–60 min at ambient
temperature (10–30 °C)
Apple and pear
Pomace
50–100 g/ton 1–2 hours at ambient
temperature (25–30 °C)

 

Fruit Processing Application

Ailazyme® MU, apple mash enzyme, employs specific pectinases to dissolve the stiff cell structure of apples, resulting in increased juice yield and capacity while decreasing clarifying and filtration bottlenecks. Only soluble pectin is degraded by Ailazyme® MU, while insoluble pectin is protected, allowing the pomace left over after juice extraction to be reprocessed to extract pectin for use in the food sector.

When it comes to processing citrus fruits, there are major variances when compared to most other fruits. The goal of citrus juice extraction is to get the best separation of juice, peel, and essential oil possible. Various sorts of goods can be manufactured using tailor-made, compounded enzyme preparations, resulting in process optimization.

Ailazyme® MU is an endo-pectin lyase that excels in the most critical citrus applications, such as hazy juice concentration, pulp with ash, and peel extraction. Ailazyme® MU aids in the quick reduction of viscosity without compromising the foggy substrate's properties and stability. This prevents jellification and increases focus.

Regulatory & Compliance

Purity and Regulatory Aspects

The enzyme in Ailazyme® MU is manufactured to comply with current purity specifications of JECFA (FAO/WHO) and conforms to FCC´s recommended specifications for food enzymes. These specifications also encompass heavy metals as well as the microbiological characteristics. Ailazyme® MU has been especially developed for apple or pear juice extraction and is a preservative free product.
