Xylanase from Trichoderma viride

The Uses of Xylanase from Trichoderma viride

Xylanase from Trichoderma viride has been used as a component of an enzyme mixture for the hydrolysis of hemicellulose-rich solution (autohydrolysate). It has also been used as a cell-wall degrading enzyme to determine the efficiency of p-coumaryl esterase to release p-coumaroyl and feruloyl group.

Definition

ChEBI: Endo-1,4-beta-Xylanase is an aromatic amine.

General Description

Xylanase is a hemicellulolytic enzyme. It is synthesized by microorganisms like bacteria, yeast and fungi.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Xylanase?(endo-1,4-β-Xylanase) is involved in the hydrolysis of xylan. It has a wide range of applications in industrial processes such as, bioleeching of craft pulp in paper industry and production of hydrolysates from agro-industrial wastes. Xylanase?is also used in nutritional enhancement of lignocellulosic feed and in clarification of juice and wines.
