Cellulase
Description
Deerland Cellulase TR is an enzyme preparation derived from Trichoderma reesei and contains high cellulase and hemicellulase activities, which decomposes the natural cellulose such as wood cellulose, soybean hulls, barley gum and other cellulosic materials.
Activity
Cellulase (FDA) 6,000 u/g (Standardized with maltodextrin)
Activity of cellulase is measured by decomposing activity of filter paper. The analysis method is available upon request.

Inactivation
Inactivation can be achieved by raising the temperature to 80C and holding for 15 minutes.
Use Level
Enzyme requirements are generally dictated by processing conditions. They will vary with cellulose substrate concentration, degree of desired cellulose hydrolysis, pH, temperature and time of hydrolysis. Initially evaluate Deerland Cellulase TR at 0.02 to 0.1 % based on the weight of cellulose substrate dry matter.
Applications
| Food industry |
Treatment of vegetables for decomposition of fiber and an increase in digestibility |
| Animal feed |
Increasing feed efficiencies |
Storage Stability
In sealed containers, under cool, dry conditions, the product will maintain the declared activity for at least 12 months. Storage life can be extended by storing under refrigeration at 5C.
Packaging
Deerland Cellulase TR is available in 50 kg fiber drums with ring seal and lined with a polyethylene bag.
