Use Cases

Applications

Beta-glucanase hydrolyses cereal and fungal β-glucans to manage viscosity, improve separation, and stabilise downstream unit operations. Targeted for industrial buyers in brewing, feed, wine, grain, and biofuel production lines.

1
🍺

Brewing & Wort Filtration

Hydrolyses barley β-glucans that elevate wort viscosity above 2.0 cP, slowing lautering and blocking filters. Supports high-adjunct grists and faster runoff in commercial brewing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 What does beta-glucanase do?

Beta-glucanase is a hydrolase enzyme that cleaves β-glucan polymers in cereal and fungal substrates. In industry, it reduces viscosity, supports filtration, and improves handling of barley, oats, and Botrytis-affected materials.

Q2 What's the difference between EC 3.2.1.6 and EC 3.2.1.4 beta-glucanase?

EC 3.2.1.6 denotes endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase targeting mixed-linkage β-glucans, while EC 3.2.1.4 is endo-1,4-β-glucanase acting on β-1,4 bonds. Some formulations feature both for comprehensive substrate breakdown.

Q3 How much beta-glucanase should I dose in a barley mash?

Starting point is 20–40 g per 100 kg grist. Actual dose depends on malt quality, adjunct load, mash pH, temperature, and viscosity target. Pilot trials confirm optimum use.

Q4 Can beta-glucanase be used in poultry feed?

Yes. Common inclusion in barley and oat feeds to manage viscosity. Typical rate 50–100 g/ton; confirm pellet stability and thermal tolerance during feed mill validation.

Q5 How does beta-glucanase help with Botrytis in wine?

Botrytis releases glucans that overload filtration. Beta-glucanase breaks these polymers, reducing filter load and improving flow in pad or cross-flow systems.

Q6 Is your beta-glucanase food grade and non-GMO?

Yes. Supplied with Food Grade, ISO 9001, HALAL, and KOSHER certification. Non-GMO variants available for qualified orders; batch documentation provided on request.

Q7 What's the optimal pH and temperature for beta-glucanase?

Recommended pH 4.0–6.0 and 40 °C–60 °C. Matches brewing, feed, and hydrolysis needs; verify the setpoint against your substrate and process time.

Q8 What packaging and MOQ do you offer? Can I request a free sample?

Beta-glucanase supplied in 25 kg fiber drums with custom packaging optional. MOQ 25 kg. Qualified buyers can request a free 100 g sample with COA and TDS when inquiring for bulk pricing.
