The Enzyme Engineering of The Powderization of Plant Tissues Caused by Enzymatic Degradation of Structural Substrates |Biomedgrid

Eucommia Ulmoides Gum (Eu-Gum), or gutta-percha, is a basic and strategic material. However, the inner dark brown hard shell within Eu fruit shell is very difficult to remove, being the bottleneck of high purification of fruit shell Eu-Gum. From the experimental phenomenon of pulverization of Eu plant tissue, the author realized the mechanism of that enzyme degraded substrates to pulverize plant tissue and thus putted forward a theory of plant tissue pow erization by enzymatic degradation, “the enzymatic degradation of structural substrates causes the collapse of plant structure and the pow erization of tissue” to guide this study of the purification of Eu fruit shell crude Gum. It was found that the xylan residues in xylose hemicellulose were structural substrates in plant tissue.
