Notes:
The effects of polygalacturonase free Cx-cellulase alone or in combination with CaCl2 on softening of cucumber pickles during brine storage were examined. Treating Cx-cellulase preparations with urea eliminated polygalacturonase activity. Pickles exposed to Cx-cellulase remained firm for 4 months. After 4 months, Cx-cellulase mediated softening became apparent. Calcium substantially increased firmness. Cx-cellulase did not reduce the level of firmness attained in pickles exposed to calcium during 12 months of storage.
