Description
Summary:•Xylan hydrolysis is superior with family 10 xylanase compared to family 11 or 10&11.•The pH optimum for hydrolysis of xylan into small xylo-oligosaccharides is pH 2.5.•Xylanase family and pH dictate effects of temperature and time on xylan hydrolysis. This study investigated the effect of xylanases from families 10 and 11 on the production of small chain arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS) (X2–X4) from wheat arabinoxylans, and identified the impact that pH, temperature and time exposed to xylanase have on this process. Xylanase from family 10 had greater hydrolytic efficiency and resulted in heightened AXOS production compared with xylanase from family 11 or family 10 and 11 combined. The pH of the environment had a significant effect on AXOS production (P
