Endo-1,4-beta-xylanase

(EC 3.2.1.8)

Additive composition:

Preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 26372) having a minimum activity of:

Solid form: 1 000 FXU (1)/g

Liquid form: 650 FXU/ml

Characterisation of active substance:

Endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 26372)

Analytical method (2):

For quantification of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 26372) in a feed additive:

— colorimetric method measuring coloured compound produced by the dinitro salicylic acid (DNSA) and the xylosylic moieties released by the action of xylanase on arabinoxylan.

For quantification of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 26372) in premixtures and feedingstuffs:

— colorimetric method measuring water soluble dye released by action of xylanase from dye-labelled oat spelt azo-xylan.

Lactating sows

-

200 FXU

-

1.  In the directions for use of the additive and premixture, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated.

2.  For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks resulting from their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment, including skin, eyes and breathing protection.

1 FXU is the amount of enzyme which liberates 7,8 μmol of reducing sugars (xylose equivalents) from azo-wheat arabinoxylan per minute at pH 6,0 and 50 °C.
