AB  - Microbial pectinolytic enzymes are important in various industries, particularly food processing. This study focuses on uncovering insights into a novel pectin lyase, BvPelB, from Bacillus velezensis 16B, with the aim of enhancing fruit juice processing. The study examines the structural and functional characteristics of pectinolytic enzyme, underscoring the critical nature of substrate specificity and enzymatic reaction mechanisms. BvPelB was successfully expressed and purified, exhibiting robust activity under alkaline conditions and thermal stability. Structural analysis revealed similarities with other pectin lyases, despite limited sequence identity. Biochemical characterization showed BvPelB's preference for highly methylated pectins and its endo-acting mode of cleavage. Treatment with BvPelB significantly increased juice yield and clarity without generating excessive methanol, making it a promising candidate for fruit juice processing. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the enzymatic properties of BvPelB and its potential industrial applications in improving fruit juice processing efficiency and quality.

AB  - The combination of b-oligosaccharides from enzymatically hydrolysed barley b-glucan has attracted interest recently due to its positive effects on human health. This study aimed to assess the impact of the
endo-b-1,3-1,4-glucanase enzyme from Bacillus subtilis 168 on improving the nutritional and bioactive
properties of barley b-glucan. A new procedure for the isolation of b-glucan was developed, at a lower
temperature (45 °C), enabling purity from starch contamination, without affecting the yield (6 g b-glucan
from 100 g of barley flour). The endo-b-1,3-1,4-glucanase is cloned into E. coli pQE_Ek enables the high
production and purification (82% yield, 1.8 mg mL 1 and 440 U mg 1
) of an enzyme identical to the
natural one (25.5 kDa). The enzymatic reaction showed high efficiency of b-glucan degradation by recombinant enzyme, giving a mixture of products (of which 3-O-b-cellobiosyl-D-glucose and 3-O-b-cellotriosylD-glucose are the most abundant), the reduction of viscosity (17%) and increase in antioxidant capacities
by 15.2%, 30.9% and 44.0% assessed by ABTS, DPPH and ORAC, respectively. These results indicate
the possible application of endo-b-1,3-1,4-glucanase enzyme in improving the properties of barley bglucan used as functional foods.
