Product Description

Beta-glucanase is a class of naturally occurring active hydrolytic enzymes produced by microbial fermentation. It is stable and has a mild effect, specifically targeting and breaking down large beta-glucan molecules widely found in plants and fungi. These large polysaccharides are viscous and difficult for the human body to digest and absorb, easily burdening the digestive system and hindering nutrient absorption. Beta-glucanase can precisely cleave the glycosidic bonds of glucan molecules, breaking down complex macromolecules into smaller fragments. This effectively reduces the viscosity of intestinal contents, alleviating discomfort such as bloating and indigestion, and helping the digestive system better digest nutrients in grains and fungi, improving the absorption and utilization of proteins and carbohydrates. Simultaneously, the small oligosaccharides produced during decomposition also act as prebiotics, gently nourishing beneficial gut bacteria, regulating the gut microbiota balance, strengthening the intestinal barrier, and improving overall digestive and metabolic function. This enzyme is acid and alkali resistant, adaptable to the gastrointestinal environment, has long-lasting activity, high safety, is non-irritating, and has good compatibility. It is often used in dietary ingredients for gastrointestinal conditioning, grain food processing, and functional digestive formulas to help relieve digestive discomfort and meet the needs of daily gastrointestinal care.

What are the benefits?

1. Food Industry

Improving Feed Utilization: In animal husbandry, β-glucanase can hydrolyze β-glucan in plant-based feeds (such as barley and oats), reducing intestinal digesta viscosity, improving the digestibility and absorption of nutrients such as energy and protein, reducing diarrhea rates in livestock and poultry, and improving intestinal health.

Improving Food Processing Performance: In brewing and juice production, it can degrade β-glucan in raw materials, reducing the viscosity of fermentation broth or juice, facilitating filtration and processing, and improving production efficiency.

2. Agriculture and Plant Protection

Antifungal Effect: Some β-glucanases can degrade β-1,3-glucan in the cell walls of plant pathogenic fungi, leading to hyphal breakage, malformation, or protoplasmic leakage, inhibiting fungal growth and spore germination. This can be used for biological control to reduce plant fungal diseases.

Enhancing Plant Immunity: The β-glucan oligosaccharides produced by hydrolysis can act as immune activators, inducing systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants, and improving plant resistance to pathogens.

3. Medicine and Health

Immune Regulation: Certain β-glucanase hydrolysates (such as β-1,3-glucan oligosaccharides) possess immunomodulatory activity, promoting the activation and proliferation of immune cells (such as macrophages and lymphocytes), enhancing the body's immunity, and assisting in fighting infection.

Assisting in Lowering Blood Glucose and Lipids: Some studies suggest that β-glucanase hydrolysates may help improve blood glucose control and lower blood lipids, but further high-quality research is needed to validate this evidence.

Application directions

1. Food Industry

Grain Processing: Used in barley, oat, and other grain products, it decomposes β-glucan in grain cell walls, reduces dough or slurry viscosity, improves fermentation fluffiness, making bread, steamed buns, etc., softer, while also increasing starch gelatinization efficiency and enhancing nutrient absorption.

Fruit and Wine Clarification: Degrades β-glucan in yeast cell walls or fruit juice, preventing precipitation and improving product clarity and stability.

Functional Food Development: By controlling the degree of enzymatic hydrolysis, large-molecule β-glucan is converted into small-molecule oligosaccharides, retaining its physiological activity, for developing functional foods with immune regulation, gut health, and other functions.

2. Feed Industry

In livestock and poultry feeds with barley, oats, etc., as the main raw materials, β-glucan is a major anti-nutritional factor, increasing intestinal digesta viscosity and hindering nutrient absorption. Adding β-glucanase can reduce viscosity, promote nutrient release, improve feed conversion rate, reduce "sticky feces" problems, and improve animal growth performance and health. It is widely used in poultry, piglets, broiler chickens, and other livestock farming.

3. Brewing Industry

Barley is the main raw material for beer brewing, and its cell walls contain a large amount of β-glucan. β-glucanase can decompose β-glucan in wort, reducing viscosity, increasing filtration speed, improving wort clarity, reducing abiotic turbidity, and enhancing beer quality and production efficiency.

4. Biological Control and Plant Protection

Some β-glucanases can degrade β-glucan in the cell walls of plant pathogenic fungi, inhibiting fungal growth and spore germination. This allows for biological control, reducing the use of chemical pesticides, offering advantages such as environmental friendliness and zero residue. It can be applied to post-harvest preservation of fruits and vegetables and plant disease control.

5. Yeast Protoplast Preparation

The main component of yeast cell walls is β-glucan. β-glucanase is a key reagent in the preparation of yeast protoplasts. By decomposing the cell wall, yeast cells lose their cell walls, facilitating subsequent gene manipulation, cell fusion, and other research.

6. Biofilm Removal

In the food industry and medical fields, β-glucan is an important component of biofilms of certain microorganisms. β-glucanase can degrade biofilms, enhance the bactericidal effect of disinfectants or antibiotics, and help control microbial contamination.
