Ailazyme® DEX contains a fungal 1,6-α-D-glucan 6-glucanohydrolase obtained by fermentation from Penicillium spp. The product Ailazyme® DEX is a very efficient endo-dextranase producing soluble polysaccharides from dextran. The product has a pH optimum appropriate for application to mixed juices, has high thermal stability and has no Invertase activity. Its performance is enhanced when combined with the use of heat-stable α-amylase such as Ailazyme® BA-Neo under its normal conditions of use. The product has been especially developed for its rapid dextran reduction and for the increase of line- outputs and processing yield in sugar production.

Food & Nutrition Applications
Use Level
4 - 5 ppm (Cane in the mixed juice), 1 - 2 ppm (Syrup), 10 - 15 ppm (Sugar refining)
Utilization

Ailazyme® DEX with an activity not less than 30.000 Dextranase Units per g can be directly added to dextran containing juices or syrups, either manually or with a dosing pump. The product is best used under the following conditions:

Application Dosage level Recommendation
Cane in the
mixed juice
4-5 ppm Opt. application conditions:
pH: 5.0–5.5 and T: 55-60°C
Syrup 1-2 ppm Opt. application conditions:
pH: 7.0 and T: 60-85°C
Sugar refining 10-15 ppm Directly in re-melt tank.

The dosage rate is best adjusted with deviations from the optimum conditions. The enzyme is inhibited by metal ions such as Cu and Hg.
