exo-Cellulase: High activity enzyme for digesting cellulose.

Applications: include: Agriculture, Food Processing, Paper, Pulp, Biofuels, Advanced Materials.

Scales: 100 mL, 1 L and 10 L to multi-tonne quantities

Properties: exo-Cellulase catalyses the sequential hydrolysis of cellulose chains from the ends, releasing glucose or cellobiose units. Its key benefits include efficient conversion of cellulose-rich materials into fermentable sugars, making it highly valuable for biofuel production, biorefineries, and biomass valorisation. In industrial applications, exo-Cellulase is often used in combination with endo-Cellulases and β-glucosidases to achieve complete cellulose saccharification, enhancing overall enzymatic efficiency. Additionally, it finds applications in the textile industry for fiber softening and bio-polishing, in animal feed to improve digestibility of plant-based ingredients, and in food processing to increase yield and clarity in fruit and vegetable juices. By facilitating the controlled breakdown of cellulose, exo-Cellulase contributes to sustainable bioprocessing, cost-effective biomass utilization, and improved product quality across multiple sectors.
