1.PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

It is an enzyme obtained through submerged fermentation of Trichoderma reesei and recovered by Modern Back Extraction Technique. Commonly used in the manufacturing of beer, feed, paper production and as an antifungal compound in plants.

Technical information:

• Temp range: 30 to 70℃ (Optimum: 50-60℃).  Higher activity can be obtained at 60 to 70℃ for 30 min.
• PH range: 3.5-5.5 (Optimum: 4.8-5.5)
• Unit definition: One unit (U) of β-glucanase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 mmol reducing sugar per min at 50℃ and a of pH 5.5 (Standard: LDZJ03. 03-2010)

‌2. PRODUCT ADVANTAGE

APPLICATION

• Feed industry

Poultry: In diets rich in barley, β-glucanase improves the digestibility of the ingesta thus increasing weight gain and improving feed conversion.

• Either added into feed or taken together with feed, the viscosity of feed containing β-Glucanwill be greatly reduced in animal’s digestive tract, improving the biological value of feed.

• Beer

Glucanase breaks down the β-glucans located in the cell walls of the barley endosperm, this is important because glucans can cause problems during wort production and beer filtration. Glucanase should be added at the beginning of the saccharification stage. Glucanase can have an effect in the color, texture, clarification, and flavor of the beer.

• Brewing
• Added into mash tank, the product will reduce wort viscosity a lot by adequately degrading β-Glucansin malt or adjunct (especially barley), improving extraction yield, wort filtration and finally brewhouse efficiency.

• SugarIndustry
• In sugar industry the sugar cane may often be infected with microorganism producing high molecular β-Glucan These β-Glucans cause high viscosity and filtration problems leading to yield loss due to difficult sugar crystalization. The use of Beta-Glucanase(BGS) will address the issue.

3.TECHNICAL PARAMETERS/MECHANISM

MECHANISM

The main function of glucanase is to  break down large polysaccharides (glycosidic bonds) via hydrolysis to diminish its hydrophilic activity and viscosity in the substrates.

 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

Light yellow to brownish yellow powder. Color may vary from batch to batch. Color intensity is not an indication of enzyme activity.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION

The recommended dosage is 0.1-3kg/t DS. The optimal dosage has to be optimized based on each application, the raw material specifications, product expectation and processing parameters. It is better to begin the test with the convenient volume.

4.PACKAGE AND STORAGE
