Cataglucanase

Form : Powder
Appearance : Off-white to Brown

Multi-Enzyme Solution for Improved Brewery Processing & Filtration

Non-starch polysaccharides such as cellulose, hemicellulose, beta-glucans, and arabinoxylans can increase viscosity during brewing and negatively affect filtration efficiency.

Proteins present in brewing grains can also influence wort processing and Free Amino Nitrogen availability.

Cataglucanase is a food-grade enzyme complex produced using selected strains of Trichoderma reesei. It exhibits activity against cellulose, hemicellulose, beta-glucans, arabinoxylans, and proteins, supporting breakdown of plant-derived components during malt extraction and brewing.

FAQ's

How does Cataglucanase reduce mash viscosity and improve wort filtration?

Cataglucanase hydrolyses β-glucans, arabinoxylans, cellulose, hemicellulose, and other non-starch polysaccharides that increase mash viscosity. This improves mash flow, facilitates wort separation, and supports more efficient downstream brewing operations.

How does Cataglucanase improve Free Amino Nitrogen (FAN)?

The protease activity in Cataglucanase hydrolyses grain proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, increasing the Free Amino Nitrogen (FAN) content of wort to support fermentation.

Is Cataglucanase suitable for high-gravity brewing and different brewing raw materials?

Yes. Cataglucanase is suitable for high-gravity brewing and is formulated for use with barley, wheat, maize, soy, and other brewing raw materials containing non-starch polysaccharides and proteins, providing broad application across brewing processes.
