Alpha4 2X

Next Generation Enzymes for Liquefaction (Grain Processing)

PRODUCT INFORMATION

  • Alpha4 2X is an Alpha-Amylase that hydrolyses (1,4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in starch substrates.
  • Alpha4 2X is heat stable and efficient in viscosity reduction over wide range of pH.
  • Alpha4 2X is an endo amylase derived from select strains of Bacillus sp.

Application

Alpha4 2X is used during the slurry preparation and liquefaction process. As per the plant condition we can decide to split the dosages in slurry and liquefaction tanks Alpha4 2X is effective in viscosity reduction and during high DS liquefaction.

The recommended parameters are to maintain the liquefaction temp 83-85 C with overall retention time of 150-180 minutes to achieve optimum results.
