Cellulase is a group of enzymes refined and extracted through deep - fermentation cultivation of selected Trichoderma, followed by microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and vacuum freeze - drying techniques. It is mainly used to degrade cellulose into glucose and to break down the plant cell walls during the processing of fruit and vegetable juices, thereby increasing the juice yield. It is readily soluble in water, and its aqueous solution is a clear light - brown liquid.
Cellulase is mainly composed of exo-β-glucanase, endo-β-glucanase, β-glucosidase, etc., and also has highly active xylanase. The mechanism of action is to act on the β-1,4 bond from the interior of the molecule to degrade cellulose, generating cellobiose from the β-1,4 bond at the non-reducing end of cellodextrin, and then hydrolyzing it into glucose.
