The Big question where to buy Pectinex within Europe ? Anyone
modernist pantry ships there, but you may be able to find it locally
Would a coffee filter work for this?
That subtle Dave Arnold plug though... Haha
Nice liquid intelligence book
Filtering this clearly removes all (good for you) fiber, so I assume that you would do this for party drinks rather than morning breakfast cup of juice. Does doing this remove vitamins?
For my Toronto, Canada, peeps, you can buy pectic enzyme from Toronto Brewing homebrew supply store (two locations in T.O.): https://torontobrewing.ca/index.php/brewing-ingredients/beer-adjuncts/clarifying-agents/pectic-enzyme-clarifier-1-oz.html
No, the activity of the pectinase enzyme is specific to the polysaccharide pectin, and doesn't affect vitamins at all.
Not sure what country in Europe you live in, but there are a lot of different brands of pectinase on Amazon.ge and Amazon.co.uk. I prefer the liquid stuff myself, just because it is easier to distribute through you solution, but the powdered enzyme is just as good. Best of luck!
Yep!
Are there any before and after images?
How long are you supposed to leave the pectinase in the juice before filtering?
Will it work with tomato juice?
I only say this because I like you all and I don't want you to get in hot water so....Don't you think displaying the Simply Orange, label (Simply Orange which BTW is owned by Coke) and calling it "clumpy junk" is the same as thumbing your nose at Coke and saying "Come at me bro!"? After all what's stopping them from coming at you....with a lawsuit for libel?
What evidence do you have that the fiber is "good for you?" More nutritionist junk science.
Removing fiber is kind of the point of making juice. If you want fiber, eat the fruit.
Would this work on alcoholic fruit extracts, e.g. ginger, al well? Just wondering...
Search for pectolase, I believe this is the same thing.
In Poland it is available at wine making sites:

Yes, Pectic Enzyme is regularly used in brewing beers, wines and meads, makes for a much clearer finished product.
Pektinase OM made by Schliessmann (the first hit on the german amazon link) works great on all kinds of juices, except those that are very acidic, e.g. lime.
Also the fiber will make you stop eating make you fill satisfied. As @Sabrina Jiang said, you will probably only eat one apple and you'll be ok. But with juice you can drink 3-5 apples easily, and that is a lot of sugar.
Anyone tried to make the Pectinex Ultra Sp-L french fries yet? Just wondering how they compare?
Does this increase shelf stability? I know that Dave Arnold centrifuges his citrus to eliminate the solids, which means he can use it in, for example, his carbonated gin and (grapefruit) juice. I'm looking to make some bottled cocktails with citrus, which are notoriously finicky (although centrifuged citrus ones seem to last for a while). Will this work similarly?
I have! They're a really phenomenal texture. The only real difference the pectinex is adding is that unique, bubbly texture. It's pretty great though.
Beyond the entire nutritional recommendations of every country which has included multiple longitudinal studies that showed correlation between high fiber diets and lower death, obesity, cancer, etc? If you want to go on about how correlation doesn't imply causation, I'd like to see you fund a longitudinal experimental design that controls for every possible confound and somehow get it approved by a regulatory board. Fiber is almost definitely good for you.
Hello,
I tried this with grapefruit juice (fresh squeezed). Before I even added the Pectinex Ultra Sp-L, i put the fresh juice through a strainer to get out the big chunks of pulp. I added the Pectinex Ultra Sp-L, waited until it separated like in the video, and put in my chemex to filter. After a night in the fridge, only about half is filtered. Is there any trick to try to speed this process up to 15-20 minutes like stated? Should I filter the remaining with another filter? I am using the Chemex filters, as well.
That's a great tip guys. I already have some ideas where to apply it. First, need to source some Pectinase in the UK though.
Great recipes! Do you also have some ideas for a "pimped up" milkshakes? (since summer is here...)
Thanks!
If you want to wait a month. I'm not sure where the coffee filter thing came from but I'm sure the folks that suggest using one have never done it themselves. I made them work using a hydro-static method but who wants to do that? If you're trying to filter out fine sludge, as you would here, progressive filtration, filter then filter at a smaller micron number then filter again at an even smaller micron value would probably be the fastest way.
how much do you use of the powder ??
If you don't use a coffee filter, what kind of filter do you use?? Eager to try this but don't want it to take a week! Help.
What are you, a lawyer? Lawyers are clumpy junk.
To bad you don't know who I am so you could sue me.
Based on the "Pectin-Free Juice) CS's video, I used 0.25% Pextinex (so a lot more than 5-10 drops) on a 1.5L bottle of Tropicana Pure Premium no-pulp orange juice. Made sure to warm the bottle up to room temp first and let the enzyme work for 30 min before filtering using a Chemex filter.
I need to use 2 filters to filter half of the bottle overnight, so it's not very fast. Drip, drip, drip...
An interesting effect, although certainly not mind-blowing. Cleaner, crisper than the original juice. Very nice if you carbonate it in a iSi Whip.
But how am I still supposed to talk myself into an unnecessary centrifuge for my home bar?
