Cellulase (β-1,4-glucan-4-glucanohydrolase) is a multi-component enzyme system that synergistically degrades cellulose into glucose, composed primarily of exo-β-glucanase, endo-β-glucanase, β-glucosidase, and high-activity xylanase, functioning as a complex enzymatic consortium rather than a single enzyme‌.
Appearance‌:Light yellow or white powder with uniform texture and no clumping‌.
Optimal Conditions‌:‌Temperature‌: Effective within 40–50°C‌;‌pH‌: Optimal activity at pH ~4.8‌.
Physical Properties‌:‌Density‌: ~1.2 g/mL at 25°C.;‌Melting Point‌: 121–126°C.
Solubility: Easy to dissolve in water, but almost insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, chloroform, ether, etc
‌Primary Applications‌:1.juice processing
Improve the juice yield of apple juice and citrus juice, promote the comprehensive utilization of fruit peel residue, and enhance the clarification of fruit juice ‌.
‌Plant-Based Beverage Optimization
It is used in the production of vegetable protein drinks such as oats and beans. It improves the smoothness and natural sweetness of the drinks by hydrolyzing cellulose, and achieves the effect of "0 sugar added" ‌.
3.Baking food improvement
Soften grain fibers to improve the texture and texture of baked goods such as bread and noodles.
4.Dietary fiber development
The conversion of cellulose in fruit and vegetable residues into functional dietary fiber for food (such as citrus peel residue enzymatic hydrolysis products) ‌.
‌5.Meat processing assistance
As a processing aid for meat and protein products, it helps to enhance product tenderness and flavor.
