👉 Prunase is a chemical compound that plays a crucial role in the production of wood and paper. It is produced by the enzymes of the fungus, Penicillium notatum, which are used to break down wood fibers into sugars and other organic compounds. Prunase is essential for the production of paper, as it breaks down cellulose and other lignin-based materials to release cellulose derivatives, such as cellulose acetate.
