Description

Licheninase CAS NO 37288-51-0 is a specialized enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of lichenin, a polysaccharide found in certain plant cell walls. This product matters for its critical role in the precise breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars, enabling controlled biochemical processes. It is primarily needed by industries focused on biofuel production, biochemical research, and the development of specialized diagnostic reagents.

Application

• Biofuel Production: Used in the enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass to improve sugar yield for fermentation.
• Biochemical & Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a key reagent for studying carbohydrate metabolism and enzyme mechanisms.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Employed in the formulation of test kits for the specific detection of polysaccharides.
• Food & Beverage Processing: Facilitates the modification of texture and the clarification of products containing specific plant-based fibers.
• Animal Feed Additive: Enhances the digestibility of feed by breaking down non-starch polysaccharides, improving nutrient absorption.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Aids in the selective degradation of hemicellulose components during bio-pulping processes.
