EINECS: 232-734-4

Description:

Cellulase is produced naturally by different symbiotic fungi, protozoa, and bacteria that have the ability to catalyze cellulolysis (the breakdown of cellulose- a complex carbohydrate). In reality, there are different types of cellulases whose activity is pH-dependent: some are more active in an alkaline environment while others are more active in an acidic or neutral one.

Cellulase breaks down cellulose into beta-glucose. But what exactly is cellulose? It is a carbohydrate and a key part of the outer cellular structure of vascular plants. It could be considered one of the most abundant compounds in the world, as it is the basic building block for much of the plant kingdom, and is a primary food for much of the world’s living organisms.

Benefits  

1.      Aid the breakdown of cellulose into usable glucose.

2.      Break down harmful microbial biofilms.

3.      Help fruits and vegetables release antioxidant compounds in association with pectinase enzymes.

4.      Improve the nutritive value of fermented foods.

5.      Improve the nutritive value of whole grains.
