I'm looking to can some mandarin segments and it seems like pectinase (pectin enzyme) would be helpful with this process.  
 
Any idea where I may be able to get it in Brandon?

A quick google search suggests it's sometimes used in wine production and home brewing. Maybe try calling Brewer's Direct & Winesense in the morning and see if either of them carry it?  
 
Wal-Mart in the US also seems to stock it, so it's possible the one here does too?

seems to be used to break down the white pith that surrounds the segments.  
You can still can Mandarins with the pith on, in which case they will have a more bitter taste.  
If you take the time to remove as much pith as you can then you will not need the Pectinase.  
It is obtainable from restaurant supply stores and possibly health food shops as well as the home brew stores as advised in earlier posts.  
Most recipes on the web do not use it.

Thank you both for your replies. I found the product at Winesense and was able to do curbside pickup!
