Xylanase to Reduce Viscosity for Ethanol Fermentation Yield Improvement | Summary | Xylanase degrades xylan and reduces the viscosity of starch slurry or culture medium containing xylan. It's applied to ease alcohol fermentation and increase ethanol yield when raw materials rich in xylan are used, such as wheat-based raw materials. |
| Description |
Xylanase is produced through submerged fermentation of Trichoderma reesei, followed by purification and formulation. This enzyme targets hemicellulose substances, effectively reducing the viscosity of starch slurries. It is commonly used in the alcohol and brewing industries, particularly when working with wheat raw materials. The enzyme primarily consists of endo β-1,4 xylanase and β-xylosidase. Endo β-1,4 xylanase breaks down xylan into oligoxylose and xylobiose, while β-xylosidase further converts these products into xylose. This dual action significantly lowers the viscosity associated with xylan, facilitating smoother processing. |
| Advantages |
Reduce viscosity of fermentation medium Ensure smooth operation during alcohol or ethanol fermentation Ease fermentation and increase ethanol yield |
| Application | For viscosity reduction of fermentation medium to smooth operation and increase yield |
| Application Area |
Ethanol Brewing Portable alcohol |
| Application Recommendation |
The recommended dosage is 0.05-0.4 L 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. |
