Pectolyase Y-23 is a highly purified maceration enzyme from Aspergillus niger. It contains two types of pectinase such as endopolygalacturonase and endo-pectin lyase in high activity. Included is a maceration stimulating factor which stimulates tissue maceration by both pectinases. Unit Definition: One unit is defined as an increase in A235 by 1.0 in the reaction mixture per minute.
