The knowledge gathered about the hydrolysis mechanism of the hemicelluloses, especially xylans, has greatly promoted the rapid application of these enzymes in new areas.
Recently there has been much industrial interest in xylan and its hydrolytic enzymatic complex, as a supplement and for the manufacturing of food, drinks, textiles, pulps and paper, and ethanol; and in xylitol production as a fermentation substrate for the production of enzymes. This book describes xylan as a major component of plant hemicelluloses.
- Presents a thorough overview of all aspects of xylanolytic enzymes
- Gives up-to-date authoritative information and cites pertinent research
- Includes studies on xylanase regulation and synergistic action between multiple forms of xylanase
This book is intended for researchers, scientists, graduate students, teachers in microbiology and biotechnology.
