Abstract
Pectinases have been used for many industrial applications since long time ago. The largest industrial application of these enzymes is in fruit juice and wine production for the extraction, filtration and clarification and for the maceration of fruits and vegetables. They work by enzymatic breaking down of the cell wall.In this study it was aimed to use the previously optimized shake flask media formulation in batch mode 1 L scale serial bioreactor system and 5 L scale in order to investigate the effects of substrate concentration and scale on PG activity and biomass production. In conclusion it was observed that average PG activity (101.29 U/ml) obtained in 5L scale bioreactor experiments was higher than the maximum PG activity (88.55 U/ml) at 40 g/L orange peel (OP) concentration obtained in the 1 L scale substrate concentration experiment. Furthermore,PG activity increased with an increase in substrate concentration except for 60 g/L orange peel concentration.
