Description

Ec 3.2.1.37 is a high-purity enzyme preparation, specifically a xylanase, identified by the CAS number 9025-53-0. This biocatalyst is essential for the efficient hydrolysis of xylan, a major hemicellulose component in plant biomass, into xylose and other oligosaccharides. It is a critical reagent for research and industrial applications in biotechnology, biofuel production, and the food & feed processing sectors, where precise enzymatic activity is required.

Application

• Biofuel Production: Key enzyme for the pretreatment and saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass (e.g., agricultural residues, wood pulp) to produce fermentable sugars for bioethanol.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in bio-bleaching processes to reduce the need for harsh chemical bleaches, improving pulp brightness and lowering environmental impact.
• Animal Feed Additive: Enhances the digestibility of plant-based feed (e.g., wheat, barley) by breaking down non-starch polysaccharides, improving nutrient absorption and feed efficiency.
• Food Processing: Applied in baking to improve dough handling and bread volume, and in juice clarification to degrade polysaccharides for increased yield and stability.
• Textile & Fiber Processing: Facilitates the bioscouring of natural fibers like cotton, removing impurities in an eco-friendly manner.
• Biochemical Research: Essential tool for studying hemicellulose structure, enzyme kinetics, and metabolic pathways in academic and industrial R&D laboratories.
