Starch Processing Enzymes

Applications Thermostable alpha-amylase (CAS 9000-92-4) is applied during jet cooking and primary liquefaction at 85–105°C to reduce slurry viscosity and enable efficient pumping and heat transfer. Medium- and low-temperature alpha-amylase grades are used in secondary liquefaction and mash adjustment, supporting controlled dextrin profiles and improved filtration. Glucoamylase (amyloglucosidase) drives saccharification at pH 4.0–4.5 and 55–65°C, converting liquefied starch and dextrins to fermentable glucose for glucose syrup and ethanol production. Pullulanase is incorporated in high-glucose and maltose syrup lines to hydrolyze α-1,6 linkages, increasing conversion efficiency, raising DE values, and reducing residual limit dextrins. Product Range Portfolio includes bacterial and fungal alpha-amylase preparations (including CAS 9000-92-4), glucoamylase up to 200,000 U/g, and liquid pullulanase for debranching applications. Activities range from 10,000 U/g to 100,000 U/g in powder form, with concentrated liquid formats for automated dosing systems. Food grade options are available for starch sugar and brewing applications, alongside technical grades suitable for ethanol and industrial processing, supplied in bulk quantities for pilot through full-scale production.
