Abstract

β-Mannanases (endo-1,4-β-d-mannanase) is endohydrolase that catalyze the random hydrolysis of the β-1,4-d-mannopyranosyl linkage within the main chain of various mannan-based polysaccharides to yield mannooligosaccharides products. β-Mannanase have been isolated and characterized from different sources including bacteria, fungi, higher plants, and animals. However, microbial mannanases are wildly used in the industrial application. β-Mannanases was classified based on the amino acid sequence similarity into glycoside hydrolase (GH) families 5 and 26 and a few member of family 113. These enzymes from different organisms have different properties such as enzyme activity, optimal pH, and optimal temperature. So, β-mannanases with high specific activity and remarkable enzymatic properties are required for the application. β-Mannanase is very useful enzyme that has been used in several industrial applications including food, feed, pulp, and paper industries. This enzyme can be used to improve the bleaching of pulp by facilitating the release of lignin from paper pulp leading to the reduction of chemical reagents. It can be used to reduce the viscosity of instant coffee and to clarify fruit juices and wines in food industry. β-Mannanase also have been used as animal feed additive enzyme to increase the nutritional value of animal feed components. Moreover, there is increasing interest in using β-mannanase to produce mannooligosaccharides (MOS) which have the prebiotic properties from natural mannan-based substrates. This enzyme is also used for the pretreatment of biomass in the bioethanol production.
