Dextranase

Sugar industry: In the sugar industry, leuconostoc mesenteroides streptococcus and other microorganisms are through secretion glucansucrases catalyze sucrose to glucose, glucose further polymerized to form dextran. The dextran is a high molecular weight polysaccharide polymer, and the type of glycosidic linkage is mainly α-1, 6 glycosidic bond. The existence of dextran will have serious impact on sugar production, obviously increase the viscosity of sugar, reduce the filterability of sugar solution, abnormal crystallization occurs when cane sugar is crystallized, increase the costs of sugar production, and affect the product quality. The use of dextranase can effectively improve the heating speed of cane juice, shorten the time of clarification and crystallization, it can eliminate the adverse impact of crystallization, thereby improve the production efficiency and yield of sugar.
