| Abstract | ||||
| In instances of bacterial (primarily Leuconostoc) degradation of sugar beet, sugar manufacturers occasionally utilize dextranases to hydrolyze the dextran polysaccharide. Compared to many other industrial enzymes. Consequently, research and development initiatives are underway to acquire dextranase with properties tailored to the specific requirements of beet processing, ensuring efficient and economically viable sugar beet processing. The findings and conclusions from a trial involving the addition of dextranase to sugar beet syrup and massecuite at Delta Sugar Company in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt, are examined, focusing on its effect on factory throughput. The trial demonstrated a significant benefit of using fungi to obtain crude dextranase enzyme, which resulted in increased throughput, reduction in process chemical usage, and improved operational stability. Aspergillus terreus and Aspergillus nidulans var. latus both worked well, but Aspergillus nidulans var. latus worked better because it reduced the amount of dextran in the samples being studied by a larger percentage than the other strain. | ||||
