Hemicellulase

Description

Deerland Hemicellulase is characterized by beta-mannanase and complementary cellulose and hemicellulase activities. Deerland Hemicellulase is an enzyme preparation derived from Aspergillus niger. It is a white to tan color, free flowing powder.

Activity

Beta-galactomannanase - 50,000 u/g (Standardized with maltodextrin)

Beta-galactomannanase is a viscosimetric method, measuring the reduction of viscosity of a substrate made from locust bean gum at pH 4.5 and 40C. The analysis method is available upon request.

Properties

Optimum pH	4.0
pH Stability	3.0 to 6.0
Optimum Temperature	70C
Thermal Stability	Up to 60C

Applications

Food Industry

Coffee bean	Removal of the sediment from coffee extracts in the manufacture of instant coffee.
Soy bean	Enzymatic peeling of soybean.
Bread	Anti-staling agent (especially under the presence of small amount of glucomannan or galactomannan like guar gum)

Other Industries

Textile

Desizing of fabrics made from synthetic fibers (in the case of galactomannan like guar gum or locust bean gum are used as size)
