Levan hydrolase is primarily used in the enzymatic breakdown of levan, a polysaccharide composed of fructose units. This enzyme finds applications in the food industry, where it helps in the modification of levan to produce fructose syrups or oligosaccharides, which are used as sweeteners or prebiotics. In the agricultural sector, levan hydrolase is employed to degrade levan in soil, improving soil health and promoting plant growth by releasing nutrients. Additionally, it plays a role in biotechnology research for studying levan metabolism and developing bio-based materials. Its ability to cleave levan efficiently makes it valuable in waste management, particularly in the degradation of levan-containing agricultural residues.
