Xylanase is widely used in the food and beverage industry to improve the quality of baked goods. It enhances dough handling, increases bread volume, and improves crumb structure by breaking down xylan, a component of hemicellulose in flour. In the animal feed industry, it is added to poultry and swine diets to improve nutrient absorption and digestibility by breaking down non-starch polysaccharides in feed ingredients. Additionally, xylanase plays a crucial role in the pulp and paper industry, where it is used in the bleaching process to reduce the need for harsh chemicals, making the process more environmentally friendly. It is also employed in biofuel production to break down plant biomass into fermentable sugars, aiding in the production of ethanol.
