Products Description Cellulase Enzyme Food Grade is made from the strain of Trichoderma reesi through cultivation and extraction technique. This product can be used for feedstuff, brewing, grain processing, treatment of textiles with cotton, hemp, stick gum or yarn as plus material and Lyocell fabric. It can also be used for the stonewash of jean garments together with pumice, or solely used for the ferment washing of different styles of jean fabric. Is derived from the fermentation of a selected Non-GMO strain of Aspergillus niger. This enzyme product is characterized by its ability to modify, hydrolyze, or degrade the carbohydrate cellulose. Enzymatic Properties The pH optimum is 4.5 with a stability range of 3.5 to 5.5. The optimum temperature is 60ºC with a stability range of 45ºC to 75ºC. Activity Contains three activities (endo- and exo-cellulase and beta-glucosidase activities) required to achieve complete hydrolysis. One cellulase unit (CU) is defined as the amount of activity that will produce a relative fluidity change of 1 in 5 min in a defined carboxymethyl cellulose substrate under the condition of the assay. The acceptance criteria for all enzyme assays is: NLT 85.0% and NMT 115.0% of the declared units of enzyme activity.
