Description

Carbohydrase CAS NO 9001-02-9 is a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds in complex carbohydrates, breaking them down into simpler sugars. This enzymatic action is critical for enhancing process efficiency, yield, and product quality across numerous industrial sectors. It is an essential biocatalyst for manufacturers in the food and beverage, animal feed, biofuel, and textile industries seeking to optimize their bioprocesses.

Application

• Starch Processing & Sugar Syrup Production: Used for the saccharification of starch to produce glucose, maltose, and high-fructose corn syrups.
• Baking Industry: Improves dough handling, bread volume, and crumb softness by modifying starch and non-starch polysaccharides.
• Brewing & Distilling: Enhances wort filtration and fermentation efficiency by breaking down β-glucans and other polysaccharides in grains.
• Animal Feed Additive: Incorporated into feed to improve the digestibility of fibrous components, increasing nutrient availability and feed conversion ratios.
• Biofuel Production: Facilitates the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic and starchy biomass into fermentable sugars for ethanol production.
• Fruit Juice & Wine Clarification: Aids in juice extraction, clarification, and stabilization by degrading pectin and other cloud-inducing polysaccharides.
• Textile Desizing: Employed to remove starch-based sizing agents from fabrics in an eco-friendly manner.

Quality Control

Our Carbohydrase is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is controlled for key parameters including enzymatic activity, purity, and microbial limits to ensure consistent performance. We offer grades compliant with Food Chemical Codex (FCC) and GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status for food applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing activity, pH optimum, temperature stability, and specific assays is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability, as the product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For short-term use, storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable. Avoid repeated temperature fluctuations and exposure to high humidity.
