Starch Conversion Enzymes

Liquefaction & Cereal Cooking – Supplemental enzymes break down starch and reduce mash viscosity for more consistent mashing.  Add to cereal cooker for faster liquefaction.

AMYLEX® 6T – Thermostable bacterial α-amylase

• Rapid viscosity reduction at low & broad pH range
• Performs well at low water to grist ratio
• Lower doses needed compared to similar enzyme activities
• Application: Add to cereal cooker before cooking or into mash

AMYLEX® LT – Thermostable bacterial α-amylase

• Efficient liquefaction for low temperature gelatinization starches
• Quick viscosity reduction
• Non-GMM
• Application: Add to cereal cooker before cooking or into mash

AMYLEX® 5T – Thermostable bacterial α-amylase

• Excellent adjunct liquefaction for a faster viscosity break
• Allows for use of low water to grist ratio
• Efficient starch liquefaction for reduced processing costs
• Broad pH tolerance
• Application: Add to cereal cooker before cooking or into the mash.

AMYLEX® 4T – Thermostable bacterial α-amylase

• Rapid viscosity reduction at high solid concentrations
• Allows for the use of high temperature gelatinization starches
• Can be used with high adjunct levels
• Application: Add to cereal cooker before cooking or into the mash.

AMYLEX® BT2 – Thermostable bacterial α-amylase

• Rapidly reduces viscosity for efficient starch liquefaction
• Can be used for medium or high gelatinization temperatures
• Great for brewers that want organic approval
• Application: Add to cereal cooker before cooking or into the mash.

Raw Material Optimization – Enables the use of difficult and gluten-free grains or significant levels of adjuncts. Achieve high performance brewing with locally available raw materials.

ALPHALASE® AP4 – α-amylase, β-glucanase & protease

• More efficient barley brewing up to 60%,
• Use with undermodified malt or gluten free grains
• Improve sustainability by using local grains
• Application: Add at mashing in or right after.

ALPHALASE® AP3 – α-amylase, β-glucanase & protease

• Allows for high barley brewing (up to 60%)
• Fast liquefaction at low water to grist ratio
• Provides consistent levels of FAN
• Optimize extract yields without undesirable impacts on foam, fermentation or flavor profile
• Application: Add to mash at mashing in or right after.
