Novozymes launches Pectinex® Ultra Mash to improve juice yield and support smoother clarification and filtration.

Dittingen, Switzerland (ots)

The latest addition to Novozymes'
portfolio of traditional enzymes for juice processing is Pectinex
Ultra Mash, a first mashing product that extracts more juice from
every apple. One of the first success stories since the integration
of Biocon's enzyme business into Novozymes, this new generation
mashing enzyme is a direct result from a unique association of two
fermentation technologies.
Convert increased yield into profit
With apples supplies diminishing, juice producers are looking for
new ways to maximize their raw materials. Pectinex Ultra Mash offers
an innovative solution, helping increase total yield, among other
relevant benefits. "A manufacturer using first mash enzymes in the
mashing process can expect a juice yield in the range of 85-91%, an
impossible achievement without the use of enzymes," says Frédéric
Issenhuth, Global Marketing Manager for Juice at Novozymes. "The new
generation Pectinex Ultra Mash offers a yield increase of 1% in
comparison with our older first mash enzyme solution - a significant
gain in juice-processing terms which makes this new product
considered a benchmark in traditional enzymes for the juice
processing market."
From cloudy to clear
As apple juice is naturally cloudy and consumers find it more
aesthetically pleasing when clear, it is essential to remove solid
particles during processing. This enhanced balance of enzymes
precisely targets specific soluble pectins in the fruit mash, leaving
the insoluble pectin almost untouched. "After using Pectinex Ultra
Mash, the juice is much easier to depectinize and filter," explains
Kurt Dörreich, Head of Customer Solutions for Juice at Novozymes.
"Excellent flow rates are achieved during ultrafiltration. With a
lower turbidity at the mashing stage, fewer problems are experienced
later in the clarification and filtration stages, and the whole
efficiency of the plant increases".
Adaptable and advantageous
Combining flexibility and efficiency, Pectinex Ultra Mash
demonstrates these superior benefits in conjunction with all existing
mashing equipment. Offering rapid mashing, faster throughput and
enhanced downstream processing, Pectinex Mash boosts productivity and
reduces workload during the busy harvest period.
