An Antarctic yeast was cultivated to produce and enzymatic extract with polygalacturonase activity, whose biochemical properties were studied. It assisted pectin extraction from lime pomace at 20 °C. The extract produced by Tausonia pullulans 8E had an optimum temperature of 40 °C and optimum pH of...
