Effects of Crude and Partially Purified Mannanase on the Fibre Content of Palm Kernal Cake/Expeller [PDF]

, 2011
Palm Kernel Cake/Expeller (PKC/E) is an agricultural waste of palm oil mill which contributed about 2.2 million tones in 2007 in Malaysia. It is an important ingredient for the formulation of animal feed instead of corn and soybean husk.

Characterization of mannanase from Bacillus circulans NT 6.7 and its application in mannooligosaccharides preparation as prebiotic [PDF]

, 2015
This study focused on the characterization of mannanase from Bacillus circulans NT 6.7 for mannooligosaccharides (MOS) production. The enzyme from B. circulans NT 6.7 was produced using defatted copra meal as a carbon source.

Effects of High Levels of Enzyme Blend With Probiotic on Performance, Intestinal Morphology, Microbial Population, and Immune Response in Broiler Chickens

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
High levels of enzyme blend (450 and 600 mg/kg) combined with probiotics improved growth performance and reduced coliform populations in broiler chickens, without affecting carcass traits, meat quality or immune response. These findings highlight the synergistic effects of enzymes and probiotics on gut health and productivity.2 ABSTRACT Background ...

Dual Modification of Guar Meal via Fermentation and Enzyme Treatment Enhances Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Gut Morphology in Broilers

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Fermentation or enzyme treatment of guar meal at low inclusion levels (3%–6%) significantly improved broiler growth, nutrient digestibility, carcass yield and gut morphology, while higher inclusion impaired performance. Dual modification presents a promising strategy for safe and efficient use of guar meal as an alternative protein source in poultry ...

Spatial activity mapping of ß-mannanase on soybean seeds

Scientific Reports
For farm animals the supplementation of exogenous enzymes, like ß-mannanase, to soybean-based diets is beneficial to improve feed digestibility. In order to unravel the effect of ß-mannanase on soybean meal’s cell structure, a novel imaging concept was ...

Mycelial growth interactions and mannan-degrading enzyme activities from fungal mixed cultures grown on palm kernel cake [PDF]

, 2009
Palm kernel cake (PKC), a by-product of the palm kernel oil extraction process contains mannan as its main polysaccharide. Mixed culture microbial degradation may enhance mannan-degrading enzymes production.

Combined inhibitor free-energy landscape and structural analysis reports on the mannosidase conformational coordinate [PDF]

, 2013
Mannosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of a diverse range of polysaccharides and glycoconjugates, and the various sequence-based mannosidase families have evolved ingenious strategies to overcome the stereoelectronic challenges of mannoside chemistry ...

Understanding How Diverse β-Mannanases Recognize Heterogeneous Substrates

Biochemistry, 2009
The mechanism by which polysaccharide-hydrolyzing enzymes manifest specificity toward heterogeneous substrates, in which the sequence of sugars is variable, is unclear. An excellent example of such heterogeneity is provided by the plant structural polysaccharide glucomannan, which comprises a backbone of beta-1,4-linked glucose and mannose units.

Unraveling mannan biosynthesis in poplar and spruce: functional characterization of Cellulose Synthase‐Like family A (CSLA) genes

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 282-298, January 2026.
Summary Hemicelluloses are key chemical constituents of plant cell walls, influencing structure, strength, and interactions between cellulose and lignin. While xylan has been widely studied and shown to affect cell wall integrity, the function of mannan remains largely unexplored.
