Xylanase for ethanol yield improvement Sunson XY20L

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Xylanase XY20L is produced by submerged fermentation of Trichoderma reesei followed by purification and formulation. Xylanase degrades hemicellulose substances and reduces the viscosity of starch slurry. It’s widely applied in alcohol industry or brewing especially when wheat raw materials are used. 

MECHANISM

The enzyme contains mainly endo β-1,4 xylanase and β-xylosidase. The former degrades xylan into oligoxylose and xylobiose, while the latter further degrades the oligoxylose and xylobiose into xylose. In this way, the viscosity caused by xylan is greatly reduced.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION

l  For brewing: The recommended dosage is 0.1-0.4L of the enzyme preparation per ton of total raw materials, added at mashing-in.

l  For alcohol industry: The recommended dosage is 0.05-0.2L of the enzyme preparation per ton of total raw materials.  

The dosage has to be optimized based on each application, the raw material specifications, product expectation and processing parameters. It is better to begin the test with the convenient volume.

SAFE HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Enzyme preparations are proteins that may induce sensitization and cause allergic type of symptoms in susceptible individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes or nasal mucosa. Any direct contact with human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, please consult a doctor.

WARNINGS

Keep sealed after use every time to avoid microbial infections and inactivation of enzymes until its finish.
