The β‐glucanase in commercial |cellulases prepared from Penicillium funiculosum is more stable to heating than is the equivalent enzyme system from Trichoderma reesei . Consequently the heat‐labile amyloglucosidase can be destroyed more reliably in Penicillium cellulase, and it follows that this enzyme is to be preferred for use in the enzymic method for measuring β‐glucan.
