<h2>Maximize your fermentable sugar yield</h2>

Find the solution that is right for you

Saccharification

Distilling

Enzymes for distilling saccharification

Our enzymes for saccharification give you a range of opportunities to do this. They speed up fermentation and maximize your throughput. They also deliver higher ethanol levels and alcohol yields and lower residual starch and sugar levels. With our enzymes you can also achieve more efficient separation and DDGS processing.

The goal in saccharification is to maximize starch and dextrin conversion to fermentable sugars

Our saccharification enzymes efficiently and cost-effectively convert starch and dextrins into glucose. They give you the dependable quality you need to ensure a consistent, robust process. The result is reliable saccharification even when raw materials and conditions vary.

Our enzymes also feature a range of side activities. These can compensate for less-than-optimal liquefaction processes.

Cost-effective, consistent fermentation

Find the right solution for you in our global portfolio, shown below. To find out more about products available in your region, <a href="#getintouch">get in touch</a> with your local Novozymes representative.

This product maximizes starch and dextrin conversion to sugars for yeast fermentation to ethanol. The result is higher ethanol yields.

High ethanol yields

Faster ethanol production early in fermentation means you get more throughput from the same facility. It also helps reduce bacterial infection. That&#039;s because bacteria reproduce much more quickly than yeast and will consume sugar and reduce pH. By accelerating ethanol production, you can inhibit their reproduction.

Faster fermentation

High levels of residual starch and sugars negatively impact your ethanol yields. This product reduces residual levels for higher ethanol yields.

Low residual starch & sugar levels

This product delivers aggressive hydrolysis and high viscosity reduction. That makes it suitable for operations that don&#039;t use jet cookers.

Suited to no-jet-cooking processes

Engineering design limitations or a coarse grind may make your liquefaction process sub-optimal. That can result in unconverted starch entering your saccharification / fermentation process. This product converts that starch during fermentation to boost your ethanol yields.

Hydrolyzes unconverted starch

This product delivers reliable performance on a range of raw materials, regardless of their quality. These include corn, wheat, rye, rice and cassava.

Effective on varying types and quality of raw materials

This highly thermo-stable product delivers robust performance under varied conditions. That gives you more flexibility in your operating parameters.

Benefits

Saczyme® Plus 2X is suitable if your distillery needs consistent performance and smooth operation at a low enzyme use cost.

Details

This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.

Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.

Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:
