Brewing Xylanase Powder for Enhancement of Under-Modified Malt
The xylanase is produced through submerged fermentation of Trichoderma reesei, followed by purification and formulation. This enzyme is effective in degrading xylan in barley or malt, which helps reduce wort viscosity and facilitates wort filtration. As a result, xylanase is widely used in the brewing industry.
Xylan, a major component of the barley embryo cell wall, consists of xylose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds, with various chemical substitutions along the backbone. To achieve complete hydrolysis of xylan, a combination of enzymes is required. β-1,4-Endo-xylanase is crucial for breaking down xylan into oligosaccharides of varying chain lengths and a small amount of xylose. Since xylan contributes significantly to wort viscosity, its degradation by xylanase greatly reduces viscosity and improves wort filtration.
