An enzyme exhibiting polygalacturonase activity, which enzyme is immunologically reactive with an antibody raised against a purified polygalacturonase derived from Aspergillus aculeatus, CBS 101.43. The enzyme may be produced by recombinant DNA techniques and may be used for degradation of plant cell walls, for instance in the wine and juice production.

Enzyme with polygalacturonase activity

The present invention relates to the production of a food flavoring agent. More particularly the invention provides a process for producing a food flavoring agent, which method contains the steps of preparing an aqueous slurry of plant protein and insoluble plant material, treating the slurry with a protease to hydrolyse the protein, maturation, wherein no separation of insoluble material is done between the first two steps. By this method the flavor of a plant protein hydrolysate can be intensified and improved.
