CYGYC BIOCON S.L. Dextranase L

CYGYC BIOCON S.L Dextranase L enzyme can hydrolyze α-1, 6 glucosidic linkage of dextran. Dextran is a polysaccharide which is composed of α-1,6 linkage glucose unit. This polysaccharide is produced by some microorganisms such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides. When harvesting sugar cane is damaged climatically or mechanically and such microorganisms would atack the damaged portion, the microorganism will assimilate the cane sugar and produce viscous dextran. At a cane sugar refinery, dextran-containing juice shows low filtration rate and poor crystallization of sucrose. Dextranase L is an endo-splitting type dextranase and hydrolyzes the dextran rapidly. Accordingly, usage of Dextranase L improves the purification process of cane sugar eliminating the interference of dextran in filtration and crystallization.

Enzyme Dosage
  • When 10-20 %( v/v) cane juice is treated with Dextranase L, the optimal reaction conditions are temperatures between 55- 60°C at pH values between 5 -7. With a reaction time of 10-20 min under these conditions, 5-10 ml of Dextranase L per 1 ton of raw juice is recommended. When 60-70 %( v/v) syrup is treated with Dextranase L, the optimal reaction temperature are between 70-80°C at pH 5-7. With reaction time of 30-60 min under these conditions, a dosage of 50-100 ml of Dextranase L per 1 ton of syrup is usual.
  • It is recommended in each case to optimize the enzyme dosage according to the actual processing conditions.
