Abstract

Apart from being the major constituent of the hemicellulosic fraction of lignocellulosic biomass, mannans are also found associated with some plant seeds as storage polysaccharide. Mannan degradation involves endo-β-mannanases and β-mannosidases along with β-glucosidases and α-galactosidases as accessory enzymes. Fungi, being natural lignocellulosic degraders, are being explored for the production of mannanolytic enzymes. Mannanases find a number of applications in various industries, and mannooligosaccharides (MOS) are being explored as health-promoting prebiotics. Looking at the quantum of mannan-rich agro-waste produced from copra and palm oil industries in south-bound states of India and huge amounts of guar gum produced in Rajasthan and Gujarat, it becomes immensely important for Indian scientists to develop enzyme-based technology for their value addition. The present chapter focuses on the contribution of Indian researchers in the area of production and application of mannanolytic enzymes from fungi.
