Xylanase for Botanical Extraction
Xylanase is a food-grade enzyme preparation with an activity of 110,000 U/g, designed for botanical extraction and herbal material processing. It is used in workflows involving isoflavones and saponins, and in processes where the depolymerization of polysaccharide macromolecular aggregates supports improved extraction performance and recovery of hydrolysis products. In herbal processing, Xylanase is commonly applied to reduce slurry and filtrate viscosity, improve flowability, and help downstream operations such as filtration and clarification run more smoothly and consistently.
Applications
- Extraction processes for isoflavones and saponins
- Degradation of polysaccharide macromolecular aggregates and extraction of their hydrolysis products
- Herbal material processing where viscosity reduction improves processability and efficiency
