This product is Dextranase also named α-glucanase, produced by submerged fermentation of Aspergillus oryzae followed by purification and formulation. The enzyme hydrolyzes the α-1, 6-glucosidic bonds in dextran molecule.
Dextranase is a hydrolase for specifically splittingα-1, 6-glucosidic linkages in dextran molecule, producing are mainly isomaltose, isomalto-oligosaccharides and glucose.
During sugar processing leuconostoc, mesenteroides,
streptococcus and other microorganisms are commonly found as contaminants,
leading to generation of high molecular viscous dextran, which presents
difficulties in processing, resulting in yield loss and sugar quality problems.
Dextranase helps a lot to overcome these problems by getting rid of the dextran.
