Project description
Novel enzymes help create xylan-based consumer products
Xylan is an important structural component of plant cells. The EU-funded EnXylaScope project will find and optimise novel enzymes for producing a debranched (water-insoluble) form of xylan with properties that make it a suitable ingredient for consumer products. In total, three types of enzymatically modified xylan will be made and tested for application in six consumer products that span three sectors: cosmetics, personal care and nutraceuticals. Researchers will use advanced techniques for the discovery, production and formulation of these enzymes. EnXylaScope is designed to maximise research output and reduce the time frame required to launch these products onto the marketplace.
