Abstract.

A simple, robust and highly reproducible method for the determination of xylanase, β-glucanase, and cellulase in commercial feed enzyme preparations is described. The method is based on measurement of reducing moieties released by the enzymes from arabinoxylan, β-glucan, or carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and is independent of enzyme standards.
