CheKine™ Micro Soil Neutral Xylanase (S-NEX) Activity Assay - 96 T/96 S

Xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) is primarily produced by microorganisms and can catalyze the hydrolysis of xylan, also known as pentosanase or hemicellulase. It breaks down the cell walls of raw materials in brewing or feed industries and degrades β-glucans, reducing the viscosity of materials during brewing, promoting the release of effective substances, and decreasing non-starch polysaccharides in feed to enhance nutrient absorption. Therefore, it is widely used in brewing and feed industries. NEX (Neutral Xylanase) is generally isolated from microorganisms with an optimal growth pH range of 6-8. CheKine™ Micro Soil Neutral Xylanase (S-NEX) Activity Assay Kit provides a simple, convenient, and rapid method for detecting neutral xylanase activity in soil samples. The principle of this assay is that NEX catalyzes the degradation of xylan into reducing oligosaccharides and monosaccharides under neutral conditions. These products further react with 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) in a boiling wate
