Hemicellulase (Xylanase): pH Range 4.0–6.0, Purity >95%

Component Specifications

Definition

Hemicellulase, specifically xylanase, is a hydrolytic enzyme component within functional enzyme blends that catalyzes the breakdown of hemicellulose—a complex polysaccharide in plant cell walls—into simpler sugars like xylose. It targets the β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in xylan, enhancing material processing efficiency in industrial applications such as food manufacturing, where it improves texture, yield, and nutrient accessibility.

Working Principle

The enzyme operates through hydrolysis, where it acts as a biological catalyst to cleave the glycosidic bonds in hemicellulose and xylan polymers. This reduces molecular weight and viscosity, facilitating the degradation of plant-based substrates into fermentable sugars or soluble fibers, optimizing processing in industrial systems.

Materials

Typically derived from microbial fermentation (e.g., Aspergillus or Trichoderma species), it is formulated as a liquid or powder with high purity, stabilized with carriers like maltodextrin or glycerol. Material specifications include enzyme activity (e.g., 10, 000–100, 000 U/g), pH range (3.0–7.0), temperature tolerance (30–60°C), and low heavy metal content (<10 ppm).
