Help needed on Pectin and Pectinase

[Charlotte Anglim]

I am a student in the UK and I am in the final year.For a major 
assignment I have to do a 
research project. I have decided to do it on pectin and pectinase. I 
have to think of an aim for my project, can anyone help me. I have 
searched the internet for pectin and I have found that it is being 
researched for cancer treatment. I think this is beyond what I am 
looking for. I am looking at pectin in fruits and how pectinase (the 
enzyme) is the cause for fruit to become "softer".

I have to design a long experiment, can anyone give me some good 
ideas so I can get started

Yours Sincerely

Neil Anglim
