Xylooligosaccharides produced from sugarcane leaf arabinoxylan using xylanase from NRRL 58523 and its prebiotic activity toward spp.

In an attempt to enhance the value of sugarcane leaf, xylan was extracted and used for xylooligosaccharide (XO) production via enzymatic hydrolysis using xylanase from the black yeast . The xylan was extracted from sugarcane leaf using alkali extraction according to the response surface methodology. The highest xylan yield (99.
