General description

Viscozyme® L is a lignocellulose-specialized multi-enzymatic complex derived from Aspergillus aculeatus. It contains a wide range of carbohydrases, including arabanase, cellulase, β-glucanase, hemicellulase, and xylanase.

Application

Viscozyme® L has been used:


  • in the extraction of polyphenol from grapefruit and unripe apples.
  • to study the effect of its supplementation on nutritive value and silage characteristics of sunflower silage.
  • for simulation of the fermentation process during in vitro digestibility of former food products (FFPs).
  • for enzymatic treatment, to study its effects on the antioxidant properties of wheat bran.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Viscozyme L aids in the release of oil bodies and proteins from cells by degrading the hemicellulose, cellulose, and pectin molecules, and by breaking the cell wall components.

Features and Benefits

  • Not a GMO and doesn′t contain GMOs.
  • Made by fermentation of a microorganism.
  • Improves process through faster, more efficient oil/water separation.
