HEMICELLULASE
Description
Hemicellulase is an enzyme capable of degrading the hemicellulose present in the cell wall of plants.
Hemicellulose is a glucose polymer linked to a monosaccharide which can be a five-carbon polymer such as xylose or a six-carbon polymer such as galactose, mannose or rhamnose.
Hemicellulase belongs to the enzymatic family of glycoside hydrolases. Its action consists in breaking the bond engaging glucose and polymers present in plant fibres with water molecules. The enzymatic reaction leads to the hydrolysis of hemicellulose.
The benefits
Hemicellulase degrades the hemicellulose contained in plant fibres. This enzyme is not synthesized by humans, unlike ruminants.
Hemicellulase facilitates the digestion of carbohydrates.
