INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION OF DEXTRANASE USING SSF TECHNIQUE

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for production of dextranase using solid state fermentation technique. In the sugar production many undesirable compounds e.g., dextran occurs due to the presence of many microbes. These unwanted compounds cause increase in the viscosity of the flow and reducing industrial recovery which is responsible for economical losses in the sugar production. The dextran is responsible for the sugar loss as well as also causes increased juice viscosity, poor clarification and crystal elongation. Dextranase is the enzyme which hydrolyzes the dextran. In the present invention the dextranase enzyme is obtained from the non-GMO strain using agricultural waste. The agricultural waste is used as energy source. The use of agricultural waste greatly cut the production cost of the dextranase. The use of solid state fermentation technique with non-GMO strain results in production of dextranase which has ambient temperature, commercially viable and thermally stable.
