Question

(a) Pectinase is an enzyme that is used in the production of apple juice. A student investigated how pH affected the volume of apple juice produced when using pectinase. The student chopped an apple into small pieces. The pieces of apple were put into solutions with different pH values. Pectinase was added to each solution. After two hours the mixture was filtered and the volume of apple juice obtained was recorded. Table 6.1 shows the results.
