Xylanase
Xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) — Hemicellulose-Targeting Xylan Hydrolyzing Enzyme
High-activity Xylanase for efficient xylan breakdown in pulp, dough, feed, and juice processes. Helps reduce viscosity and haze, improves fiber accessibility, and supports synergistic hemicellulose degradation in lignocellulosic conversion. Works best within recommended pH and temperature ranges. Activity 10,000–100,000 U/g. Optimal pH 4.0–6.5 and 40°C–60°C. Light tan to brown powder. MOQ 25 kg. Ships worldwide.

Applications
Xylanase hydrolyzes xylan and arabinoxylan to improve process efficiency across pulp bleaching, baking, feed nutrition, juice clarification, and biomass conversion—designed for reliable performance within its recommended pH and temperature window.
Pulp Bleaching (TCF/ECF)
Bio-bleaching of kraft pulp: xylanase opens fiber structure for better chemical access, helping reduce chlorine usage by 15–25%.
Bread & Baking
Hydrolyzes arabinoxylan in wheat flour dough to support improved gluten network, higher bread volume, and softer crumb.
Poultry Feed
Degrades NSP (non-starch polysaccharides) in wheat/barley-based poultry feed, releasing trapped nutrients and energy.
Cellulosic Ethanol
Synergistic action with cellulase for more complete biomass degradation by breaking down the hemicellulose fraction in lignocellulose.
Juice Clarification
Reduces viscosity in fruit and vegetable juice processing by degrading xylan-based haze-forming compounds.
Corrugated Packaging
Improves fiber bonding and drainage rate in recycled paper pulp for stronger, faster-produced corrugated board.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) used for in industry?
Xylanase is commonly used for 📜 pulp bleaching (TCF/ECF), 🍞 bread & baking, 🐔 poultry feed, 🧃 juice clarification, 📦 recycled corrugated production, and ⚡ cellulosic ethanol where hemicellulose breakdown is required.
What are the recommended pH and temperature ranges for Xylanase?
For best performance, use Xylanase at pH 4.0–6.5 and 40°C–60°C. Final dosing should be confirmed with your process trials.
How should I choose an activity grade (10,000–100,000 U/g)?
Higher U/g grades typically allow lower dosage to reach the same effect. Select based on your target reaction time, substrate type (e.g., wheat arabinoxylan vs. pulp hemicellulose), and equipment dosing limits.
How does Xylanase help reduce chlorine usage in kraft pulp bleaching?
By opening the fiber structure and improving chemical access, Xylanase can enhance bleaching efficiency—supporting chlorine reduction of about 15–25% in suitable TCF/ECF workflows.
What is the shelf life and how should I store Xylanase powder?
Shelf life is 12 months when sealed and stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid moisture exposure to maintain activity.
