β-Glucanase NZs-BE-C012

Catalog Number NZs-BE-C012

Grade Food Grade

Category Cellulases

Description

β-Glucanase NZs-BE-C012 is a high-performance food-grade enzyme preparation specifically developed to hydrolyze β-glucans found in cereals, plant cell walls, yeast, and other natural raw materials. Produced through advanced microbial fermentation and refined purification technology, this enzyme provides consistent catalytic activity and excellent processing stability. β-Glucans are complex polysaccharides that often increase viscosity, reduce filtration efficiency, and limit the release of valuable components during processing. β-Glucanase NZs-BE-C012 effectively breaks down these high-molecular-weight glucans into smaller oligosaccharides, significantly reducing viscosity while improving extraction efficiency, clarification, filtration speed, and overall product quality. For applications involving complex plant materials, β-glucanase NZs-BE-C012 can also be combined with complementary enzymes such as cellulase, xylanase, pectinase, or hemicellulase to achieve enhanced cell wall degradation, maximize raw material utilization, and improve process economics. The enzyme is suitable for industrial-scale production and can be integrated into existing manufacturing processes with minimal adjustments.

Typical Parameters

Applications

β-Glucanase NZs-BE-C012 has wide applications in numerous industries, including:

• Brewing industry: β-Glucanase NZs-BE-C012 is widely used during mashing to degrade β-glucans present in barley, wheat, oats, and other brewing grains. The enzyme effectively lowers wort viscosity, accelerates lautering and filtration, improves malt dissolution, and helps produce brighter, more stable beer with improved processing efficiency. It is particularly beneficial when brewing with high proportions of unmalted grains or high β-glucan cereals.
• Animal feed: As a feed enzyme additive, β-glucanase NZs-BE-C012 degrades cereal β-glucans found in barley, oats, wheat, and related feed ingredients. By reducing intestinal digesta viscosity, the enzyme enhances nutrient digestibility and absorption, improves feed conversion efficiency, and supports healthier growth and production performance in poultry, swine, and livestock.
• Sugar processing: In sugar production, β-glucanase NZs-BE-C012 can help reduce viscosity caused by microbial polysaccharides, facilitating filtration, improving crystallization efficiency, and supporting smoother downstream processing. It may be used alone or together with xylanase and other auxiliary enzymes depending on process requirements.

Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage of β-glucanase NZs-BE-C012 varies depending on several processing factors, including the type and quality of the raw material, β-glucan content, substrate concentration, processing temperature, pH, reaction time, and the desired production outcome. As a general guideline, the recommended dosage for brewing applications is 0.005-0.25 kg per metric ton of raw material, while animal feed applications typically require 0.02-0.10 kg per metric ton of finished feed. Since operating conditions and raw material characteristics may vary significantly among production facilities, small-scale laboratory tests or pilot-scale trials are strongly recommended before commercial application.

Storage

Store the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture. Keep the original container tightly sealed after each use to prevent humidity absorption and maintain enzyme activity. Under recommended storage conditions, the product maintains optimal stability throughout its specified shelf life.
