Collaborating with:
Enzymes are hitherto unknown ingredients in restaurants, although they have been used in the food industry for years. By using these ingredients in our restaurant, bar or pastry shop, we will have the opportunity to achieve textures that could not be achieved otherwise
We have developed this dossier with the aim of providing knowledge and making known how to use them and the options they can offer us.
That is why we will explain what enzymes are, and we will delve into each one of them so that you can understand them and apply them in your own gastronomic recipes.

ENZYMES: WHAT ARE THEY AND HOW ARE THEY USED
Enzymes What are they?
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze (speed up) biochemical reactions that occur naturally in all living organisms.
Enzymes are natural origin proteins present in most plant or animal foods that we consume on a daily basis, and which, applied to food products, can be used to modify some of their properties. They are commonly used to improve and transform products on an industrial scale, but until now very few restoration methods and applications have been developed.
Enzymes, unlike other texturizers, are very specific. This means that each enzyme will only work with one type of fiber or molecule. This compound that reacts is called substrate, and is transformed into the so-called products.
As you can see in the image, for enzymes to work they have to fit the substrate in question, so they will only work when the substrate is compatible
Origin
Enzymes are of natural origin. Most have been generated through the fermentation of natural products of plant or animal origin, or even extracted directly from fruits or vegetables.
How are they used?
There are different parameters that can affect the proper functioning and performance of enzymes, and that we will take into account when using them. This occurs due to the shape of the enzyme and the way the substrate fits with it, that is, due to its specificity.
• The product: If the food does not contain the substrate that the enzyme needs, there will be no reaction. So, if we apply pectinase to a food that does not contain pectin, it will not undergo any change.
• Substrate accessibility: The substrate must be accessible for the enzyme, since, if they do not meet and do not fit, no change can occur. The main barrier that we find is the external skin of the vegetables since the impermeability of the skin does not allow the enzyme to penetrate. We will have to make some cuts in the skin, puncture it or peel it so that the enzyme can penetrate.
• Proportion: If there is little substrate, even if we add a lot of enzymes, we will not achieve more effect. If, on the other hand, we have a lot of substrate and little enzyme, it will work, although slowly.
• Temperature: It is one of the most important factors to take into account. The enzyme has a temperature curve on which its activity depends, much like the temperatures used for fermentation:
→ At 0º C or less, the reaction stops because, as the product is frozen, so the two parts cannot fit together. As the temperature rises, this change is recoverable.
→ From 0 to 60°C the enzyme is active. In general, most enzymes have an optimum temperature where their activity is maximum. It is usually between 45°C and 60°C, depending on the enzyme.
→ At 70°C, or more, the enzyme is irreparably destroyed, since by heat the shape of the enzyme is modified and coagulates, so that the substrate can no longer fit with the enzyme anymore.
• Acidity: Enzymes are also destroyed if they leave a certain pH range and become inactive, although in the kitchen it is very difficult to reach these extreme values since they are either too acidic or too alkaline.
Enzyme range
We have developed a line of Töufood Enzymes intended for use in restaurants and haute cuisine. This project is still open today and with research in constant development in order to expand the range with a much broader spectrum of applications.
Pectinase is the enzyme responsible for degrading pectin in fruits and vegetables, softening them and giving them a cooked texture, but without cooking.
Cellulase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down cellulose in fruits and vegetables, thus breaking down the hard parts of vegetables.
Invertase is the enzyme responsible for transforming sugar into inverted sugar, enhancing the sweetness of the ingredients and providing them with antifreeze and moisturizing properties.
Amylase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down starch in fruits and vegetables, giving starches creamy textures and adding sweetness.
Glucosidase is the enzyme responsible for degrading the dextrins resulting from the application of amylase. It greatly increases the degree of sweetness of the food.
Lipase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down fats and triglycerides, modifying their aromatic profile and enhancing mature flavors.
Pectinäse
What is it?
Pectinase is the enzyme that degrades pectin, one of the main enzymes in vegetables. Depending on each vegetable, the pectin will be more concentrated in the skin, the interior, or distributed throughout the piece.
Pectin
Greek ‘Pectos- (πηκτος) means ‘coagulated’
Complex polysaccharide present in the vegetables’ cell walls, especially fruits, used as a thickener. It is formed by derivatives of galacturonic acid, so when it breaks, it acidifies the product in which it is found.
What does it do?
By using Pectinäse, we manage to soften various plant parts, such as stems and skins, that we normally discard; peel fruits and vegetables very easily; liquefy, clarify juices, and other applications that we are developing.
In this way, the benefits it brings us are a reduction in production times and costs, an increase in yields and waste management, and an improvement in the properties of the products.
How is it used?
To activate the enzyme, it must be hydrated with water or a non-greasy liquid and put in contact with the pectin of the food. There are three application methods depending on the desired result:
• Impregnation: By previously making multiple holes in the product, and adding the enzymatic solution, we achieve a homogeneous degradation throughout the product.
• Injection: We achieve internal enzymatic degradation while leaving the outside intact.
• Sprinkle or immerse: We manage to degrade the exterior while the interior is left intact.
To obtain maximum performance, it is recommended to peel or puncture the skin over its entire surface and impregnate with 2 or 3 cycles of vacuum at 90-95%, and if desired, carry out a final cycle with sealing.
Factors that affect its performance
As mentioned in the introduction, temperature and pH affect the activity and therefore the yield of Pectinase. Pectinase activity graphs for pH and temperature are shown below.
Another factor that must be taken into account for the enzyme to act is the amount of pectin that the food to be treated contains: since pectinase only acts on pectin, it will only work with products that contain it. In general, almost all vegetables contain pectin, to a greater or lesser extent. Depending on the proportion of pectin, and where it is found, we will obtain one result or another.
Below is a brief list of some fruits and vegetables that contain pectin.
High pectin content vegetables: Apples - Lemons - Limes - Oranges - Currants - Plums - Grapes - Quince
- Carrots - Tomatoes - Peas - Olives - Apricots - Sloes – Kiwi
Medium pectin content vegetables: Very ripe apples - Grapefruit - Figs - Pineapples - Pumpkin -
Watermelon - Cantaloupe - Papaya - Potato - Guava - BlackberriesBanana - Rosewood
Low pectin content vegetables: Peaches - Nectarine - Strawberries - Raspberries - Blueberries - Celery
- Bean pods - Cherries - Mango - Pears -Zucchini – Cauliflower
Applications
As a result of our research, different techniques applied to this enzyme have been determined. Each technique will provide us with a change in texture and a different result that we will apply according to the consistency we want to achieve.
CONFITTED
DEGRADATION
PEELING LIQUIFIED
RAISINING CLARIFICATION
WASTE UTILIZATION
Degradation
When pectin is broken down using Pectinäse, the structure of the vegetables it comes into contact with is weakened, significantly changing their texture, and making them softer (this is especially the case with fruits). This process is not instantaneous, and the vegetable loses its shape over time. If the degradation is to be stopped, it will be necessary to heat the product to more than 70ºC, to deactivate the enzyme.
LEMON
Using pectinase makes it easier to fully exploit this fruit and citrus in general. Once the enzymes have worked, the entire skin can be separated from the segments, the albedo and even the juice sacs , and each of the parts can be used for the desired elaborations.
When the pectin in fruits and vegetables degrades, they soften and change their texture without cooking.
COCO NUT
By softening the meat of the coconut with pectinase, a puree texture is obtained while preserving the flavor of the tender coconut. When the pectinase has already acted and the coconut is soft, it can be left attached to the wall of the shell and therefore the finished dish can be served inside the coconut to eat it by dragging the spoon along the walls of the shell.
Pectinase degraded coconut meat can also be carefully removed. The meat will still be firm enough to remove from the coconut and handle, but with a pureed texture when eaten.
STRAWBERRY
Modifying the texture of the strawberry, it goes from being crunchy to being soft on the palate without changing its appearance. This texture causes a light sensation in the mouth and a subtle strawberry flavor.
SPINACH
The pectinase softens the leaves, obtaining a cooked texture, but without the need to apply temperature to them. In this way, both the shape and color of the spinach are preserved and all its properties and vitamins are preserved.
BANANA
In the case of bananas, it is necessary to combine pectinase with cellulase and amylase so that the whole banana is edible without having to be peeled.
You can also use only the skin in preparations. For that, you have to open the degraded banana, and carefully remove the banana pulp from the inside. By tearing the inner part of the skin well, we are left only with the outermost part of the skin, which can be caramelized or crystallized to make a crunch.
ARTICHOKE
Normally it is necessary to remove the first layers of leaves from the artichoke, clean it and cut it down to the core. Combining pectinase with cellulase makes the whole artichoke edible, so it can be used in its entirety.
WATERMELON
Impregnating a slice of watermelon with pectinase breaks down the fibrous structure of the fruit, releasing a lot of water and softening the green part near the skin. With this technique the skin becomes edible and provides a flavor similar to cucumber.
Raisining
Combining an enzyme-applied degradation with drying results in a creamy product with a dry exterior.
If products that have been treated with enzymes are dried, the resulting sugars are concentrated, achieving a final product that is firm on the outside with a creamy interior and a high proportion of its natural sugars
FIG
Applying this technique on a fig previously degraded with pectinase, the fruit's sugars are concentrated, providing a more intense flavor and a smoother texture with a compote interior.
MANGO
Degrading the mango with enzymes allows the interior of the mango to have a compote-like texture, and subsequently semi-drying it creates a surrounding skin that maintains the desired shape and encapsulates the creamy interior of the fruit.
Candied
Combining a degradation with a cooking in sugar, a candied fruit is made using less sugar and cooking it for less time
By degrading the fruit using enzymes, its interior is softened and some of the water contained in the fruit is lost, so when candied later in sugar it does not need to be cooked for as long, and the fruit absorbs much less sugar. In this way, a candied fruit is obtained that is less sweet, so the original flavor of the food is enhanced.
KUMQUAT
Using pectinase, this fruit can be used in its entirety, since the skin and the interior become totally edible. After lightly candied with syrup, the interior of the kumquat looks like jam while the skin remains thick enough to handle or dip in chocolate.
Liquified
By applying the degradation technique for a very long time, a completely liquid product is obtained, as all the pectin present in the food is degraded. Applying a filtering technique to remove the parts that have not been liquefied, a cold liquefying of the product is obtained
PINEAPPLE
Through the use of enzymes, the juice found in the skin of the pineapple can be extracted since the pectinase degrades all the pulp that remains attached to the skin. In this way it is used in the form of juice with a high yield.
The pectinase allows to obtain the maximum performance in fruits and vegetables, obtaining a high amount of juice from them.
Clarification
By degrading the soluble fiber that remains when a vegetable is liquefied or squeezed, it separates from the liquid by density and leaves a clarified liquid that maintains all the flavor of the initial ingredient. Since the fibers are broken at the cellular level, much higher yields are achieved than traditional techniques.
MELON
We crush the fruit, with its skin, so that the enzyme works optimally, letting the fiber present in the liquid settle by gravity. In this way the fiber is separated leaving in the middle a transparent clarified with all the flavor of the fruit used.
When pectin breaks down, some fibers become soluble and separate from the rest, clarifying vegetable juices.
Waste utilization
Given its ability to degrade vegetable fiber, pectinase manages to soften parts of fruits and vegetables that are usually discarded because they are inedible, mostly hard skins. In this way, the vegetable is used in its entirety, without generating practically any loss and considerably increasing the yield that is obtained from the food.
PUMPKIN
There are very few preparations where pumpkin skin is used, since this vegetable has a very hard skin that makes it practically inedible. Only by cooking it for a long time and/or confit it can be used.
Applying enzymes to the skin allows it to soften enough without any cooking method so that it can be used in multiple recipes. Even so, there are certain parts in which the enzyme cannot act, so it will be advisable to strain the result of the degradation.
Pectinase makes it possible to make the most of fruits and vegetables, and even use parts that are normally discarded: the waste.
Peeling
If the enzyme acts only on the skin, the degradation that occurs can be used to make it easier to peel the products.
Generally, much of the pectin in fruits and vegetables is found in their skin, so applying pectinase only to the surface breaks the fiber that forms the skin and softens it, allowing vegetables to be peeled very easily
ALMOND
Submerging the whole almond nut in pectinase will cause its skin to come off with light pressure from your hands. This greatly facilitates a process that would be very laborious, and allows the extraction of tender almonds or crystal almonds without much effort.
TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS OF PECTINASE
By applying the pectinase to the skin of the legumes, it is possible to remove the skin without having to resort to any type of cooking by temperature. Since the enzyme only acts on the skin, the interior remains completely intact, with the natural texture and flavor of the legume.
