The purpose of this thesis is to solve the problem generated in the Sugar Company CASAGRANDE S.A.A referring to the dextran present in the sugar cane and throughout the industrial process of obtaining the sugar. This means achieving a higher return on sugar production and therefore increasing the economic profit of the company in question. This problem has been solved by the use of the enzyme Dextranase in order to break the α (1,6) bonds of Dextran, recovering glucose from the sucrose polymerized by Dextran and taking advantage of it to obtain ethanol. All this raised the challenge of putting into practice an efficient methodology based on the adequate and effective dosing of the enzyme Dextranase at 10, 15, 25, 30, 60 ppm and times of 10, 20 and 30 minutes in syrup type A, B and C. In this way, the levels of Dextran were lowered and the highest amount of glucose was recovered to obtai...
