Dextranase from paecilomyces lilacinus CAS:9025-70-1

Food industry: Dextranase is used to improve the quality and texture of various food products. It helps to prevent the formation of undesirable slimy or viscous textures caused by dextran. By breaking down dextran, dextranase enhances the overall quality and shelf life of food.

Sugar syrup purification: Dextran contamination in sugar syrups can negatively impact their quality and purity. Dextranase can be used to degrade dextran impurities, improving the efficiency of purification processes and resulting in higher quality sugar syrups.

Medical and pharmaceutical industry: Dextranase has potential applications in the treatment of dextran-related medical conditions. For example, in dextran-induced thrombocytopenia, dextranase can break down the dextran molecules responsible for the condition. Dextranase may also have potential as a therapeutic agent for anti-coagulation therapy due to its ability to degrade dextran polymers.
