Abstract

In this study, zymographic analysis for xylanase and pectinase enzymes has been carried out using agrowaste residues, wheat bran and citrus peel as well as their extracts. Isozymic forms of xylanase as well as pectinase enzyme displayed comparable zymographic bands onto agar petriplates containing either commercial substrates (xylan and pectin), agrowaste-based substrates (wheat bran and citrus peel), or polysaccharides extracted from these agrowastes (crude xylan and pectin extracted from wheat bran and citrus peel, respectively), indicating the fact that agro residues and their extracts can be utilized as a substitute of cost-intensive commercial substrates, xylan and pectin for zymographic analysis. This is the first report revealing the zymographic analysis of xylano-pectinolytic enzymes using agro-based solid residues particles or polysaccharides extracted from agro-based residues.
