food industry | prolonged stability of ficin at low pH values in comparison to papain can be of importance for industrial processes that run in low pH conditions such as chill haze prevention during winemaking which prompted us to check long term stability of ficin and papain at low pH and in the presence of ethanol | Ficus carica |
