Abstract
Pectinesterase was extracted from potato alpha cultivar, purified and partially characterized The used protocol resulted in a 58.8-fold purification (51 850.2 units/mg protein) with 15.5% recovery of pectinesterase activity. The purified enzyme had a molecular weight of 27 kDa and its isoelectric point was around 4.5 with pH and temperature optima of 8.0 and 60°C, respectively. The purified enzyme had a single symmetric peak of specific activity after chromatographic steps. The homogeneity of the purified pectinesterase was confirmed by gel filtration and polyacrylamide electrophoresis gel.
