Applications
Mannanase hydrolyzes mannan and galactomannan structures to reduce viscosity and remove mannan-related barriers, enabling smoother processing and improved performance across food, feed, and industrial production.
Coffee Processing
Hydrolyzes galactomannans in green coffee beans to improve extraction, reduce viscosity, and speed up filtration.
Poultry Feed
Breaks down beta-mannans in soybean meal to reduce anti-nutritional factors and support better feed conversion.
Swine Feed
Helps eliminate the “cage effect” of mannans in pig intestines, improving nutrient absorption and growth performance.
Guar Gum Processing
Enables controlled hydrolysis of guar galactomannan to produce modified guar products for food, cosmetics, and oil drilling.
Pulp & Paper
Reduces hexenuronic acid content in kraft pulp through mannan removal, supporting improved brightness stability.
Coconut & Palm Processing
Acts as an extraction aid by breaking down mannan-rich cell walls for higher yield in coconut milk and palm kernel oil processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 What does Mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78) break down?
It hydrolyzes mannan and galactomannan structures (including beta-mannans found in certain feed ingredients and galactomannans associated with coffee and guar). This helps reduce viscosity and mannan-related barriers in processing.
Q2 What pH and temperature should I use for Mannanase?
For best performance, operate within pH 5.0–7.0 and 40°C–70°C. If your process is outside this window, activity and viscosity reduction may decrease.
Q3 How should I interpret the activity range (10,000–50,000 U/g)?
The range reflects measured enzyme units per gram. Higher activity generally allows faster hydrolysis at the same dosage, but final dosing should be confirmed via small-scale trials for your specific substrate.
Q4 Can Mannanase be used in both feed and food applications?
Yes. We supply Mannanase with Feed Grade and Food Grade options, along with HALAL and ISO 9001 documentation. Please request the grade and documentation set that matches your compliance requirements.
Q5 How do I store Mannanase to maintain activity?
Store the sealed powder in a cool, dry place. With proper sealing and moisture control, shelf life is 12 months.
