Beta-glucanase

Cat. No.: B757910

GRADE & PURITY EnzymoPure™, ≥100 FBG/g

Overview

Viscozyme® L is a lignocellulose-specialized multi-enzymatic complex derived from Aspergillus aculeatus. It contains a wide range of carbohydrases, including arabanase, cellulase, β-glucanase, hemicellulase, and xylanase.

Application

Viscozyme® L has been used:
in the extraction of polyphenol from grapefruit and unripe apples.
to study the effect of its supplementation on nutritive value and silage characteristics of sunflower silage.
for simulation of the fermentation process during in vitro digestibility of former food products (FFPs).
for enzymatic treatment, to study its effects on the antioxidant properties of wheat bran.

Advantages and Specific

Not a GMO and doesn′t contain GMOs.
Made by fermentation of a microorganism.
Improves process through faster, more efficient oil/water separation.
