Fungal alpha Dextranase enzyme (E.C. 3.2.1.11) is produced by the controlled fermentation of  Chaetomium gracile. It hydrolysis the glucosidic bond alpha (1, 6) contained in dextran to release glucose or isomaltose and isomaltotriose.  In the process of sugar production, dextrans are undesirable compounds, because they increase the viscosity of the flow and reduce industrial output, bringing about great losses. The use of alpha dextranase enzyme is the most effective method for hydrolyzing the dextrans at sugar mills.
Function: 
1) Rapidly reduce viscosity, quicken filtration rate.
2) Increase the final molasses clarity and purity.
3) Increase extraction capacity and total yield.
