Correct answer: B
Microbial enzymes have important industrial applications:
Enzyme | Application |
|---|---|
Amylase | Preparation of glucose syrup ✔️ |
Protease | Clarifying beer ✔️ |
Pectinase | Clarification of fruit juices ❌ (not digestive) |
Lipase | Fat/oil processing, detergents ❌ (not fruit juice clarification) |
Therefore, the correctly matched pairs are:
(a) Amylase – Preparation of glucose syrup ✔️
(b) Protease – Clarifying beer ✔️
Hence,
Correct Answer: Option B – (a) and (b) only
