    Feature

    Cellulose enzyme is a complex carbohydrate found in plant cell walls and occurs naturally in a variety of organisms. These enzymes are produced by various microorganisms, plants, and animals.
    Cellulase is used in the food, beverage, and textile industries, agricultural product processing, papermaking, and detergent enzymes.

    What are the natural sources of cellulase enzymes?

    1. Microorganisms: fungi, bacteria, actinomycetes.
    2. Plants: especially those involved in the decomposition of organic matter or eaten by herbivores, produce cellulase. Includes:
      Zingiber officinale and Carica papaya.
    3. Animals.
    4. Marine life.
      Marine bacteria and fungi.
    5. Other sources.
      Some species of mushrooms produce cellulase to decompose wood and other plant materials in the natural environment.

    Function and Application

    1. Most important of all,Decomposition of cellulose. Cellulose has a tight structure and is difficult to be completely hydrolyzed by some chemical methods, but cellulase can hydrolyze it efficiently.
    2. Food industry. Cellulase degrades cellulose in plant cell walls and has a wide range of application value in fruit and vegetable processing, food fermentation, etc.
    3. In feed, adding cellulase can improve the nutritional value of silage.
    4. In the field of health care, by degrading the cell walls of Chinese herbal plants with cellulase, the active ingredients of plant extracts can be more effectively extracted.
    5. Cellulose is an important renewable resource. So it is of great significance for the utilization of cellulose resources.
