Cellulase, enzyme blend has been used for the purpose of enzymatic hydrolysis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cellulase is responsible for the breakdown of insoluble plant polymer cellulosic substrates into soluble sugars, mostly cellobiose and glucose. It specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of ? -1,4 glucosidic bonds in cellulose. Animals do not naturally possess the ability to digest cellulose, but do so with the help of gut microorganisms.
General description
This product contains cellulases, ß-glucosidases, and hemicellulase, for the application of degrading cellulose to fermentable sugars. This product is effective on a wide variety of pre-treated lignocellulosic bimass materials, for converting the carbohydrates in these materials into simple sugars prior to fermentation, for application in biofuels research.
Cellulase is a member of glycoside hydrolase family and is produced by a number of cellulolytic microbes.
