Product Introduction
Beta-glucanase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the breakdown of beta-glucans, which are polysaccharides found in the cell walls of plants, fungi, and bacteria. This enzyme is useful in a variety of industries, including food, agriculture, and biotechnology, due to its ability to improve digestion and nutrient absorption.
Production Process
The production of beta-glucanase typically involves fermentation processes using specific microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi that naturally produce this enzyme. Once harvested, the enzyme is purified through various methods, including filtration and chromatography, to ensure a high level of activity and quality.
Effects and Functions
Beta-glucanase works by cleaving the β-1,3 and β-1,4 linkages in beta-glucans, resulting in smaller oligosaccharides that are more easily digested by animals and humans. This process can lead to improved gut health, increased nutrient absorption, and enhanced overall performance, particularly in feed applications.
Application Scenarios
In the food industry, beta-glucanase is often used in the baking process to improve dough handling and bread quality. In animal nutrition, it is included in feed formulations to enhance the digestibility of fibrous ingredients, thereby optimizing feed efficiency. It also finds relevance in the brewing industry, where it aids in the clarification brewing materials.
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: Bulk amounts come in 25 kg per fiber drum, while samples are available in 1 kg per aluminum foil bag. Custom packaging can be arranged upon request.
Shipping Methods: Shipping options include FedEx, DHL, dedicated logistics, and sea freight consolidation.
Shelf Life: The shelf life of beta-glucanase is two years.
