SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL
exo-Cellulase breaks down cellulose (polymer). The listed reaction produces glucose CAS Number: 37329-65-0. Compare the food grade specification with the requirements of your application. Check the listed activity and operating conditions before selecting a pack size.
ENZYME SELECTION
Specify the carbohydrate feedstock and the processing result you want to evaluate. Compare the listed substrate specificity, enzyme activity and operating conditions rather than choosing by pack size alone.
exo-Cellulase catalyses the sequential hydrolysis of cellulose chains from the ends, releasing glucose or cellobiose units. Its key benefits include efficient conversion of cellulose-rich materials into fermentable sugars, making it highly valuable for biofuel production, biorefineries, and biomass valorisation.
In industrial applications, exo-Cellulase is often used in combination with endo-Cellulases and β-glucosidases to achieve complete cellulose saccharification, enhancing overall enzymatic efficiency. Additionally, it finds applications in the textile industry for fiber softening and bio-polishing, in animal feed to improve digestibility of plant-based ingredients, and in food processing to increase yield and clarity in fruit and vegetable juices.
By facilitating the controlled breakdown of cellulose, exo-Cellulase contributes to sustainable bioprocessing, cost-effective biomass utilization, and improved product quality across multiple sectors.
