Properties

Experience next-level performance with our high-activity food grade Xylanase to transform plant-based processing and elevate product quality across the food industry. By efficiently hydrolysing xylan — a major component of hemicellulose in plant cell walls — this powerful enzyme unlocks enhanced extraction, improved texture, and superior yield from cereal grains, fruits, and vegetables.

In baking, it promotes lighter loaves, better crumb structure, and increased dough elasticity, while in beverage and juice processing, it delivers clearer, brighter, and smoother products. Its high catalytic efficiency means lower dosage and faster action, translating to cost savings and greater consistency in large-scale production.

Produced under stringent food-grade standards, our Xylanase supports clean-label, sustainable manufacturing, reducing dependency on chemical additives while maintaining exceptional performance. Choose our high-activity Xylanase to bring efficiency, quality, and innovation to every stage of your food production process.

Reaction

Hemicellulose (polymer) + H2O → Xylose CAS Number: 9025-57-4
