β-Glucanase Design and Optimization for Brewing

Welcome to our advanced enzyme AI design platform - EnzymoGenius™, which specializes in meeting the unique demands of the food and beverage processing sector, particularly in the realm of brewing. Focusing on β-glucanase, we provide customized solutions tailored to the intricate aspects of brewing research.

Role of β-Glucanase in Brewing Process

Beta-glucanases, pivotal for the brewing industry, enzymatically cleave beta-glucan—a polysaccharide in barley, wheat, and oats. This action reduces malt slurry viscosity, enhances saccharification and filtration efficiency, boosts extract yields, and elevates the final brew's quality and yield.

Two key β-glucanase types—endoglucanases and exoglucanases—dominate beer brewing. The choice of enzyme formulation and dosage hinges on the brewing process specifics and production type. Ongoing research centers on refining β-glucanases' precision and effectiveness, along with uncovering novel brewing applications. Strategies, including directed evolution, amino acid sequence alignment, and pKa engineering of the catalytic core, enhance the acidic resistance of β-glucanase.
