N2 - In recent years, pectinase, a vital enzyme in diverse manufacturing sectors, including: food and beverage industries, bioenergy, textile and paper industries, etc., has inspired the scientific community to delve its: sustainable, eco-friendly, efficient, and sufficient production. Pectinase demand is perpetually rising, requiring effective mass production solutions. This study examines the various sources and improvements made in the recent years at large-scale pectinase production. The article highlighted various fermentation strategies, agro-wastes, and types of bioreactor technology utilized for pectinase production. Further: statistical tools, research designs and optimization approaches, immobilization techniques, and purification and molecular engineering approaches were also explored, accounting pectinase production. The current work aims to provide the valuable insights for: researchers, academicians, industry stakeholders, and regulatory bodies, in advancing sustainable and efficient large-scale production of pectinase, thus, broadening and boosting pectinase production for the targeted applications.
