Description

Feruloyl Esterase From Acetivibrio Cellulolyticus, Recombinant is a highly specific enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ester bonds linking ferulic acid to plant cell wall polysaccharides. This activity is critical for the efficient deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass, enhancing the release of fermentable sugars and valuable phenolic compounds. It is an essential biocatalyst for industries focused on biofuel production, functional food ingredient development, and the valorization of agricultural waste streams.

Application

• Biofuel Production: Enhances the enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic feedstocks like corn stover, wheat straw, and sugarcane bagasse for improved ethanol yield.
• Animal Feed Additives: Used in feed enzyme cocktails to break down non-starch polysaccharides, increasing the digestibility and nutritional value of feed.
• Functional Food & Beverage: Facilitates the release of bioactive ferulic acid and other antioxidants from cereal bran for nutraceutical applications.
• Pulp & Paper Processing: Aids in the bio-bleaching of pulp by removing lignin-carbohydrate complexes, reducing the need for harsh chemicals.
• Biorefinery Platforms: Key component in enzyme mixtures for the integrated production of biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials from plant biomass.
• Research & Development: Essential tool for studying plant cell wall structure, enzyme mechanisms, and for developing novel biocatalytic processes.

Quality Control

Our recombinant Feruloyl Esterase is produced under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high specific activity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including activity assays, purity assessment, and stability checks. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, activity (U/mg), and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research or industrial specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect activity. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
