Dextranase

Dextranase enzymes attach a-1, 6 glycosidic bonds of dextran to yield either glucose or exodextranases or isomalto-oligosaccharides.

Potential industrial applications of dextranases include:

    The synthesis of relatively significant oligosaccharides.
    Potential oral wash ingredients after isomaltose can be of considerable value for the prevention of dental caries,
    Clearance of dextran contaminants in the manufacturing of cane sugar.
Uses Of Dextranase Enzymes In Sugar Industry:
Improves sugar recovery and streamlines sugar mill operations.
Salient Features
Reduces dextran levels in final sugar.
Reduces crystal elonation.
Reduces viscosity in the process.
Increases in liquor clarity and filterablility.
Reduces water consumption in centrifugation.
Reduces final molasses purity and reduces steam consumption.
