General description

Cellulase is a member of glycoside hydrolase family and is produced by a number of cellulolytic microbes.
This product contains cellulases, ß-glucosidases, and hemicellulase, for the application of degrading cellulose to fermentable sugars. This product is effective on a wide variety of pre-treated lignocellulosic bimass materials, for converting the carbohydrates in these materials into simple sugars prior to fermentation, for application in biofuels research.

Application

Cellulase, enzyme blend has been used for the purpose of enzymatic hydrolysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cellulase is responsible for the breakdown of insoluble plant polymer cellulosic substrates into soluble sugars, mostly cellobiose and glucose. It specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of β -1,4 glucosidic bonds in cellulose. Animals do not naturally possess the ability to digest cellulose, but do so with the help of gut microorganisms.

Ethanol organosolv (EOS) pretreatment is one of the most efficient methods for boosting biomass saccharification as it can achieve an efficient fractionation of three major constituents in lignocellulose. However, lignin repolymerization often occurs in acid EOS pretreatment, which impairs subsequent

The optimum condition of steam explosion pretreatment was screened for hippophae, and anaerobic calcium oxide (CaO) alkalization was further used to improve its enzymatic hydrolysis. Steam-exploded hippophae reached the lowest pH value (4.01) and the maximal hemicellulose removal (77.16%) at

Discovering green solvents and their inner mechanisms for efficient deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass recalcitrance are receiving growing interests. In this work, eco-friendly levulinic acid (LA) based deep eutectic solvents (DES) were proposed for pretreatment on moso bamboo by combining acetamide
