Feruloyl Esterase: High activity enzyme to hydrolyse ester bonds.

Applications include: Valorisation, Anaerobic Digestate, Agriculture, Biofuels, Food Processing, Baking, Nutraceuticals.

Properties: Our Feruloyl Esterase is a highly effective accessory enzyme that helps unlock the full value of plant biomass by breaking the ester bonds that link ferulic acid to plant cell wall polysaccharides. By disrupting these structural cross-links within lignocellulosic material, the enzyme improves the accessibility of cellulose and hemicellulose, allowing other enzymes such as cellulases and xylanases to work more efficiently. This results in improved biomass degradation, higher conversion efficiency, and increased overall process yields. In addition, Feruloyl Esterase releases ferulic acid, a valuable antioxidant widely used in the food, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Because of these benefits, the enzyme is increasingly used in applications such as animal feed to improve digestibility, in biofuel and biorefinery processes to enhance saccharification of agricultural residues, and in food and biotechnology sectors to recover high-value phenolic compounds. For companies working with plant-based raw materials or agricultural by-products, Feruloyl Esterase offers a powerful way to improve efficiency, extract additional value, and support more sustainable bioprocessing.
