Description
Xylanase is the name given to a class of enzymes which degrade the linear polysaccharide beta-1,4-xylan into xylose, thus breaking down hemicellulose, one of the major components of plant cell walls. As such, it plays a major role in micro-organisms thriving on plant sources for the degradation of plant matter into usable nutrients. Xylanases are produced by fungi, bacteria, yeast, marine algae, protozoans, snails, crustaceans, insect, seeds, etc., (mammals do not produce xylanases).
Abbr
Xylanase, Native (Bacillus subtilis)
Applications
1) In the bread-making process, the elastic of the dough with appropriate xylanase is enhanced significantly and easy to operate; the time of dough formation and dough stabilization is shorten significantly; the proofing dough volume is increased significantly; the skin color is moderate and hardness decreased after baking; the texture is white and delicate; the structure is fine and smooth; the stoma is uniform and the bread is soft and chewy. 2) In the storage of bread, the appropriate xylanase can retrad bread staling, improve the water holding capacity of the bread and optimize the gluten network, thereby, preventing water loss and re-allocate, stabilize the organizational structure of the bread.
Appearance
Powder with good fluidity
Product Overview
Xylanase which made from the best strain of Bacillus subtilis. It is a kind of purified endo-bacteria-xylanase. It can be applied in the flour treatment for bread powder and steam bread powder production, and it can also be applied in the production of bread and steam bread improver. It can also be used in the beer brewery industry, juice and wine industry and animal feed industry.
