Description

Galactomannanase From Aspergillus Niger, ~0.2 U/Mg is a highly specific hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of galactomannan polysaccharides into smaller sugars. This enzymatic activity is critical for improving process efficiency, yield, and product quality in industries that utilize plant-based gums and fibers. It is an essential biocatalyst for manufacturers in the food processing, animal feed, textile, and biofuel sectors seeking natural and effective solutions for viscosity reduction and substrate modification.

Application

• Food & Beverage Processing: Used for viscosity control and clarification in products containing guar gum, locust bean gum, or other galactomannans, improving texture and stability in sauces, dairy alternatives, and beverages.
• Animal Feed Additive: Enhances the digestibility and nutritional value of feed by breaking down non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) like galactomannans in legume-based ingredients, improving feed conversion ratios.
• Textile & Paper Industry: Applied in the bio-polishing and desizing of textiles, as well as in paper manufacturing to modify guar gum-based thickeners and improve processability.
• Biofuel Production: Assists in the enzymatic pretreatment of biomass feedstocks high in hemicellulose (e.g., guar meal), facilitating sugar release for subsequent fermentation into biofuels.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Formulations: Employed to modify the rheological properties of natural gum-based excipients, aiding in the production of consistent gels, creams, and controlled-release matrices.
• Oil & Gas Drilling Fluids: Used to degrade guar gum polymers in fracturing fluids, helping to break gel structures and clean wells post-operation.
