Question

Bottled fruit juices are clearer as compared to those made at home, as they are clarified by the use of:

• A. Lipases and pectinases
• B. Pectinases and proteases
• C. Proteases and cellulases
• D. Nucleases and lipases

Hint:

Pectinases and proteases are used in fruit juice clarification.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Pectinases degrade pectin, a plant cell wall constituent responsible for turbidity. Proteases eliminate proteins, which also cause cloudiness, leading to clarified juices.
