🧪 Dextranase (Alpha Glucanase) & Beta-Glucanase

High-Performance Enzymes for Sugar Processing, Brewing & Feed Applications

Dextranase (α-Glucanase) and β-Glucanase are specialized enzymes used to hydrolyze different types of glucans. They are widely applied in sugar processing, brewing, food, feed, and industrial biotechnology.

While both enzymes act on glucan polymers, they differ significantly in substrate specificity, mechanism, and application fields, making it important to select the correct enzyme for optimal performance.

Chibio Biotech supplies both high-activity Dextranase (≥100,000 U/g) and Beta-Glucanase (≥30,000 U/g) with stable quality and reliable industrial performance.
