XYLANASE :

Xylanase is an enzyme which degrade the linear polysaccharide beta-1,4-xylan into xylose, thus breaking down hemicellulose, one of the major components of plant cell walls. Xylanase plays a major role in micro-organisms thriving on plant sources for the degradation of plant matter into usable nutrients. Xylanase can be used in many industries like paper & pulp, Food industry, beverages and it can also give better results combination with other enzymes like Pectinase & cellulase.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF XYLANASE :

• Starch and fuel :Viscosity reduction (fuel and starch)
• Baking :Dough conditioning Lipase Dough stability and conditioning (in situ emulsifier)
• Animal Feed : Digestability
• Pulp and paper :Bleach boosting
• Beverages: combination with Pectinase & cellulase- clarification of fruit juices and degumming of plant fiber sources such as flax, hemp, jute, and ramie
• Agriculture :Extraction of Coffee, plant oil, starch.
