(Food-Beverage-News.Com, December 22, 2016 ) With burgeoning advancements in science & technology, capabilities to synthesize molecules from naturally occurring sources has become increasingly popular. The advent or Amoxicillin, a semi synthetic version of Penicillin, has become one of the most widely used antibiotic in the world. Science has ventured deeper into the molecules that govern the physiology of our being and tried the same process of synthesis with other molecules and has succeeded. One of the most common semi synthetic molecules in production are enzymes. Applications of enzymes are not just limited to healthcare. Their applications also extend to the industrial and agricultural sector. Beta-glucanase is a carbohydrate enzyme that has shown to be a winner in all the aforementioned industries and more.
Beta glucans are polysaccharides occurring in the cell walls of cereals, plant fibers, fungi, yeast and bacteria. These polysaccharides are tenacious with respect to their breakdown. Beta-glucanase is a carbohydrate enzyme that breaks down the complex glycosidic bonds of beta glucans. Beta glucans being widely utilized in the food & beverages, industrial and healthcare sector call for the functionality of beta-glucanase.
Based on the source type, the Beta-glucanasemarket is segmented into:
Plant
Animal
fungi
Bacteria
Based on end use, the Beta-glucanasemarket is segmented into:
Industrial
Agriculture
Healthcare
Food & beverage
Waste treatment
Beta-glucanase Market- Market Dynamics:
In today’s fast moving world, optimal percentage of macro nutrient intake is not taken seriously. This leads to effects of indigestion like gasses and bloating. Beta-glucanase positively impact the digestion process brought about by enhanced break down of carbohydrates and proteins. Beta-glucanase also breakdown the cell walls of yeasts and fungi. Beta-glucanase can be used as a substitute for anti-biotic in the treatment of candidiasis. The rising awareness vis-à-vis healthcare and nutraceuticals, we can expect to see a significant rise in the Beta-glucanase Market. In the beverages industry, especially during wine making, filtration is an important step in the process. However, sometimes due to the high viscosity of the wine, filtration becomes a problem. In order to reduce the viscosity beta-glucanase is widely used in brewery. With the ever-growing beverages market, we can expect to see ca expect to see a significant rise in demand for beta- glucanase. Beta-glucanase is also being utilized in the process of waste treatment. The enzyme being stable at varying temperatures also makes it a perfect candidate for the industrial sector. With industrialization showing an upward curve, especially in the Asia Pacific region, we can expect a greater demand for beta-glucanase through the forecasted period of 2016-2024.
In terms of geography, the beta-glucanase market has been divided in to five key regions; North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Middle East & Africa. The beta-glucanase market is expected to exhibit an above average CAGR during the forecast period. Asia Pacific and Middle East region is expected to witness a high demand for beta-glucanase over the forecasted period. Highest growth is expected to be seen specifically from India and China. Significant growth will also be witnessed in Africa and Latin America.
Beta-glucanase Market- Major Players:
Some of the key players in the beta-glucanase market are Sunson Industry Group Co., Ltd., Prokazyme, Sigma-Aldrich Co. LLC, American Biosystems, Inc., SinoBios group, Noor Enzymes, Pvt. Ltd.
