DEXTRANASE
Mitigates Anti-Nutritional Effects: Decomposes β-glucan in feed, reducing its adverse impact on animal nutrition.
Lowers Intestinal Viscosity: Prevents the thickening of chyme, allowing smoother nutrient passage and absorption.
Boosts Enzyme Activity: Reduces interference with digestive enzymes, enhancing overall nutrient availability.
Supports Growth Performance: Improves nutrient digestion and uptake, contributing to healthier and more efficient animal growth.
β-glucan is recognized as a major anti-nutritional factor in animal feed. It cannot be degraded by the digestive enzymes produced by monogastric animals. When dissolved in water, soluble β-glucan swells and forms a highly viscous solution, which increases the thickness of intestinal chyme. This elevated viscosity impedes the release and diffusion of nutrients, reduces the activity of digestive enzymes, and ultimately compromises nutrient digestion and absorption.

This enzymatic preparation is predominantly employed in the sugar industry to lower the viscosity of sugarcane juice with elevated glucan levels resulting from raw material deterioration. The treatment enhances heating efficiency during juice processing and accelerates both chemical clarification and crystallization stages. For application, 30 IU of glucanase per liter of juice is introduced and maintained at 40°C for 20 minutes, achieving approximately 68% glucan decomposition.
