ETHABLE-GLUCO
ETHABLE-GLUCO
(Next Generation Enzymes for saccharification (Grain Processing)
Description
- In the production of alcohol and spirits from grain, the saccharification enzymes degrade gelatinized starch and dextrin into fermentable sugars. These sugars are then converted or fermented by the yeast cells into alcohol.
- Ethable Inc. has developed a range of saccharification products in order to enhance starch processing in grain-based distilleries. Ethable Inc’s saccharification product, Ethable-Gluco, consists exo-1, 4-alpha-D-glucosidases (glucoamylases) obtained from Aspergillus Niger.
GLUCO6 2X CHARACTERISTICS
- pH Range: 3.5 – 4.5
- Temperature Range: 30-75 °C
- Dosage Range: 0.50 – 0.60 kg/MT Starch
- Activity: 3000-3500 Unit/g
ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER ENZYMES
For the production of Alcohol from grain substrates, Ethable-Gluco provides the following benefits:
- Works over broader pH and temperature range.
- More Efficient degradation of dextrin.
- Reduced risk of infection because of working at lower temperatures.
- Lower treatment costs and dosages
- High concentration delivers savings in logistics
- Faster Fermentation time
- Lower By product Formation
- Enhanced Alcohol Recovery
- Lower Solids in Thin Stillage
USES
For optimum results, add Ethable-Gluco just after liquefaction to the pre-tank or saccharification tank when the temperature has cooled to 65 °C.
PERFORMANCE
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Ethable-Gluco can be used in pre-saccharification or in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process (SSF) at a dosage of 0.40 – 0.60 kg / MT of starch based on the substrate used.
Packaging:
HDPE package contains 30kg (66lb).
STORAGE
Ideal storage conditions are 0-25 °C (32-77 °F) in sealed packaging in a dry environment protected from the sun. The products have been manufactured for optimum stability. However, enzymes gradually lose activity over time. Extended storage and/or adverse conditions such as higher temperatures or increased humidity may lead to a higher dosage requirement. Other handling instructions are available in the Material Safety Data Sheet.
SHELF LIFE
Ethable-Gluco is stable under recommended storage conditions for a period of 3 months with less than 5% drop-in activity. Drop-in activity can be compensated
SAFETY & ENZYME HANDLING
Ethable-Gluco is nontoxic, nonhazardous and non-corrosive. Inhalation of enzyme liquid should be avoided. In case of contact with the skin or eyes, promptly rinse with water for at least 15 minutes
