Abstract:
An enzyme preparation suitable for the preparation of cloud material from fruit or vegetable material comprising pectin lyase (EC 4.2.2.10) and endoglucanase (EC 3.2.1.4), wherein 1) the pectin lyase (EC 4.2.2.10) and endoglucanase (EC 3.2.1.4) are present in relative amounts to produce the cloud material, 2) the endoglucanase has both CMCase and xyloglucanase activity wherein the ratio of said CMCase activity to xyloglucanase activity is at least 0.7 and 3) the preparation does not contain enzymes which reduce the cloud volume, as determined by a calculated difference in relative cloud volumes or by optical density measurement at 660 nm, by more than 5%.
