Abstract

This chapter presents the main important aspects about the enzyme endo-beta-1,4-xylanase. It starts with the biological grounds for the use of the enzyme. Moving on, the advancements in the production process and optimisation are substantially described, along with the microorganisms and a broad range of molecular techniques used to obtain best performance enzyme. Finally, it delineates the most common applications related to xylanase, such as in biobleaching, baking, feedstock and the enzymatic role in juice and ink industries, among others. Furthermore, the material brings updated research performed during the last few years combined with essential established facts along the time.
