Basic details of Dextranase Enzyme:

What is Dextranase?
Dextranase is a hydrolytic enzyme used to specifically disassemble the alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages of the glucan molecule, the result of which is mainly the production of isomaltose, isomalto-oligosaccharides and glucose.

Function of Dextranase

Dextranase, also known as alpha-glucanase, is produced by submerged fermentation of Aspergillus oryzae, followed by purification and formulation.

Purification and formulation. The enzyme hydrolyses the alpha-1,6-glucosidic bonds in the dextran molecule.

Applications of Dextranase

Sugar industry:

In the sugar industry, Streptococcus mesenteriae and other microorganisms catalyse the conversion of sucrose into glucose by secreting glucoamylase, which further polymerises to form dextran. Dextran is a high molecular weight polysaccharide polymer with a predominantly alpha-1 and 6 glycosidic bond type.

The presence of dextran can have a serious impact on sugar production, significantly increasing the viscosity of sugar, reducing the filterability of sugar, causing crystallisation of sucrose with abnormal crystals and increasing the cost of sugar production while affecting the quality of the product.

The use of dextranase can effectively increase the heating rate of sugar cane juice, shorten the time for clarification and crystallisation and eliminate the negative effects of crystallisation, thus increasing productivity and sugar production.
