DESCRIPTION
Xylanase XY22L is produced by submerged
fermentation of Trichoderma reesei followed by purification and formulation.
Xylanase is able to degrade xylan in barley, malt or other adjuncts to increase
extract yield, reduce wort viscosity, ease wort filtration and ensure brewhouse
efficiency. Therefore, the enzyme is widely used in brewing.
MECHANISM
As the main component of barley embryo cell
wall, xylan is made up of xylose unit linked with β-1,4 glycosidic bond, besides
the xylose residual there are many substitutions with big chemical groups along
the backbone. The complete hydrolysis of xylan needs different enzymes to work
synergistically, where β-1,4 -endo-xylanase plays a key
role in degrading xylan into oligoxylans of different chain length and small
amount of xylose. Xylan is the major responsible for wort viscosity, and
degradation of the xylan leads to the great reduction of viscosity and easy
wort filtration.
