Product Introduction
Hemicellulase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the breakdown of hemicellulose, a major component of plant cell walls. It acts on various hemicellulosic materials, hydrolyzing them into fermentable sugars. This enzyme is particularly beneficial in industries where the efficient digestion of plant materials is key.
Production Process
The production of hemicellulase involves the cultivation of certain fungi or bacteria that naturally produce the enzyme. These microorganisms are fermented under controlled conditions to maximize enzyme yield. After fermentation, the hemicellulase is extracted and purified to ensure a concentrated form that retains its activity.
Effects and Functions
Hemicellulase facilitates the degradation of hemicellulose, leading to improved digestibility of feed in livestock. It helps in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simple sugars, which can be readily absorbed by the body. Additionally, it assists in various industrial processes, such as enhancing the extraction of sugars from plant materials, which is crucial in the production of biofuels.
Application Scenarios
Hemicellulase finds a wide range of applications across different sectors. In the food industry, it is used to improve the texture and shelf-life of baked goods by breaking down fibers. In animal feed, it enhances nutrient absorption, particularly in non-ruminant animals. The enzyme is also utilized in the textile industry to process fiber and in biofuel production for improving sugar yields from plant biomass.
Packaging and Storage
Storage Conditions: The product should be sealed, protected from light, kept away from high temperatures, and stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place.
Packaging: Available in bulk in 25 kg fiber drums, and samples can be provided in 1 kg aluminum foil bags. Custom packaging options are open for request.
Shipping Methods: Shipping can be conducted through FedEx, DHL, dedicated logistics, and sea freight consolidation.
Shelf Life: The enzyme maintains its activity for two years when stored correctly.
