Description

Xylanase From Bacteria, ~3 U/Mg is a highly specific endo-acting enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-β-D-xylosidic linkages in xylan, a major component of hemicellulose. This targeted activity is critical for breaking down complex plant biomass into fermentable sugars and improving process efficiency. It is an essential biocatalyst for industries focused on biofuel production, pulp and paper processing, and animal feed enhancement.

Application

• Biofuel Production: Used to hydrolyze xylan in lignocellulosic biomass, increasing the yield of fermentable sugars for ethanol and biochemical production.
• Pulp & Paper Bleaching: Reduces the need for harsh chemical bleaching agents by selectively removing hemicellulose, leading to brighter pulp and lower environmental impact.
• Animal Feed Additive: Incorporated into poultry and swine feed to improve nutrient digestibility and feed conversion efficiency by breaking down non-starch polysaccharides.
• Baking Industry: Improves dough handling, volume, and crumb structure by modifying arabinoxylan in wheat flour.
• Fruit Juice & Beverage Clarification: Aids in reducing viscosity and improving juice yield and clarity by breaking down soluble polysaccharides.
• Textile Processing: Employed in the bioscouring of cotton fibers to remove impurities in an eco-friendly manner.
