DESCRIPTION:

Beta-Glucanase GC-0400 is produced by submerged fermentation and advanced extraction process. It is endoglucanase which specifically hydrolyzes beta-1,3 and beta-1,4 glycosidic linkages of Beta-Glucan to produce oligosaccharide containing 3～5 glucose unit and glucose. It contains a certain amount of hemicellulase and can effectively break down beta-glucan in wheat and cereal endosperm cell wall. It is widely used in the beer brewing, juice processing and wine making industries.

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS:

• Declared Enzyme: Beta-Glucanase
• Systematic Name: EC 3.2.1.6, 1,3(or 4)-beta-D-glucan 3(4)-glucanohydrolase

• Activity: 40,000 U/g (minimum)

EFFECT OF PH:

• GC-0400 works effectively at pH range from 3.5 to 6.5 with its optimal pH from 4.5 to 5.5. See Figure 1.

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE:

• GC-0400 works effectively from 30 to 65°C with its optimal temperature from 37 to 55°C. This enzyme will be completely inactivated at temperatures above 80°C for 10 minutes. See Figure 2.

PACKAGING:

• GC-0400 is packaged in 25kg cardboard drums or kraft paper bags. Customized packaging is available upon request.

STORAGE:

• GC-0400 has been formulated for optimal stability.
• Typical shelf-life is six months if it is stored below 25°C (77°F) in its original packaging, sealed and unopened, protected from the sunlight.
• Its shelf-life will be eighteen months if it is stored properly at 0～10°C(32～50°F).
• Prolonged storage and/or adverse conditions such as higher temperatures may lead to higher dosage requirement, thus should be avoided.
