ZyloCellTM Cellulase for Bioethanol Production
ZyloCell™ is a dry, concentrated cellulase enzyme designed to improve ethanol production from cellulosic biomass. Produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum, ZyloCell breaks down cellulose into fermentable glucose, unlocking additional ethanol potential from plant-based materials. Its dry powder formulation provides long shelf life, easy handling, and precise dosing—offering bioethanol producers a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional liquid cellulases.

Benefits and Features
- Breaks down cellulose to release fermentable glucose
- Boosts ethanol yield from fibrous plant material
- Supports eligibility for cellulosic ethanol credits
- Reduces storage needs with a concentrated dry format
- Simplifies dosing and handling for better efficiency
- Dry powder designed for accurate, easy dosing
- Compatible with standard ethanol production systems
Mode of Action
ZyloCell™ hydrolyzes the β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in cellulose, converting it into fermentable glucose that yeast can readily consume. By unlocking sugars trapped in fibrous material, ZyloCell boosts ethanol yields from biomass that would otherwise go underutilized. This enzymatic breakdown enhances fermentation efficiency and enables access to advanced biofuel credits.
Application and Performance
ZyloCell is intended for use during the fermentation stage of ethanol production, particularly in processes incorporating fibrous or high-cellulose feedstocks.
In trials, ZyloCell demonstrated:
- Increased ethanol production compared to fermentations without cellulase
- Reliable performance as a dry enzyme alternative to liquid cellulase formulations
- Long shelf life and consistent activity under typical ethanol plant conditions
