Mechanism of Cellulase / Hemi-Cellulase Treatment for Improved Drainage, 1997 Biological Sciences Symposium Proceedings

During beating fibers are subjected to mechanical action which causes several effects for individual fibers, including the formation of a colloidal carbohydrate layer or gel surrounding the fibers. Using light microscopy it was possible to demonstrate that enzyme treatment of fibers clearly decreased the amount of polysaccharide layer. As a result of enzyme treatment drainage improved significantly but there was no decrease in the total amount of fines. During the treatments very minor amounts of sugars were solubilized, and no damage in the actual fiber structure was noticed.
