EC 3.2.1.4.
Cellulase is an enzyme complex useful for the isolation of plant protoplasts, biomass conversion, carbohydrate research, liquid food clarification and cell dissociation. Trichoderma reesei converts cellulose to glucose via multi-enzymatic hydrolysis of beta-glucans, xylans and hemicellulosic polymers.
• For the treatment of cellulosic products and non-starch polysaccharides • Contains all three enzymatic activities: endo-cellulase, exo-cellulase (cellobiohydrolase), and beta-glucosidase • Contains significant side activities including beta-glucanase, hemicellulase, and xylanase • Hydrolyzes microcellulosic particles on filters • Reduces viscosity of fibrous raw materials • Not genetically engineered (non-GE) production organism • Food grade
