How Cellulase Works
Cleaves β-1,4 Bonds
Endo-cellulase attacks the internal structure of cellulose chains, reducing degree of polymerization and releasing shorter oligomers. Exo-cellulase then cleaves cellobiose from chain ends for complete hydrolysis.
Releases Fermentable Sugars
Complete cellulose hydrolysis releases glucose, which can be fermented to ethanol or used directly. In biomass processing, cellulase + xylanase combinations maximize sugar yield from lignocellulosic feedstocks.
Modifies Fiber Surfaces
In textiles, alkaline cellulase targets surface fibrils of cotton and denim, removing pills and fuzz without damaging core fibers — producing a smooth finish or stone-washed appearance.
Cellulase Applications by Industry
Juice & Wine Processing
Breaks down plant cell walls in fruit mash, increasing juice yield by 5–15% and improving clarification and filtration speed. Used in apple, grape, berry, and vegetable juice production.
生物燃料和生物乙醇
Hydrolyzes cellulose in lignocellulosic biomass (straw, bagasse, wood pulp) to fermentable glucose, enabling second-generation bioethanol production from agricultural residues.
Textiles
Acid and neutral cellulase are used for denim bio-stonewashing (replacing pumice stones) and bio-polishing of cotton fabrics to reduce pilling and improve hand feel.
动物饲料
Degrades fibrous cell walls in plant-based feeds, releasing trapped nutrients and improving energy digestibility in monogastric animals (poultry, swine) and ruminants.
纸浆和纸张
Modifies cellulose fiber structure to improve drainage, refining efficiency, and paper strength. Used in recycled fiber processing to enhance quality and reduce energy use.
