DEXTRANASE PRODUCTION PROCESS BY FUNGO POCHONIA CHLAMYDOSPORIA AND ITS USE IN THE REMOVAL OF DEXTRANA

摘要

The present invention, intended for the food industry, by the sugar and alcohol industries, is the optimization of the cultivation conditions of the fungus pochonia chlamydosporia in submerged fermentation for the production of dextranase and the use of this enzyme in the dextran removal of plant extracts containing this polysaccharide. , more specifically sugarcane juice. The optimized conditions allowed a 1.74-fold increase in dextranase production, with the highest activity ph and temperature of 5.0 and 50 ° c, respectively, and a molecular mass of 64 kda. the addition of 15 u of the fungus dextranase p. chlamydosporia reduced the dextran content of sugarcane juice by 75% after 12 h of treatment when compared with the control.
