A chitinase with antifungal activity from naked oat (Avena chinensis) seeds

This study developed cost ‐effective purification methods for producing chitinase from naked oat (Avena chinensis) seeds, which may favor large ‐scale production of the enzyme. The remarkable stability of the chitinase at moderate temperatures (30°C–50°C), makes it a potentially useful enzyme in bioprocessing to produce chitooligosaccharides for various applications in the food, health, and agriculture sectors.
