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.

- 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

Description
Fali Bioethanol Yeast (Grain) is an active dried yeast well-suited for use in simultaneous saccharification fermentations of starch substrates. It has a high tolerance to liberated glucose.
- Has a high cell count (> 20 x 109 cells/g)
- Rehydrates well in direct pitch applications
- Has high ethanol and temperature tolerance
- Has organic acid tolerance
- Can be used in conjunction with glucoamylase and alpha amylase enzyme systems
APPLICATION USE
This yeast product has optimal performance within a pH range of 4.0 to 5.0 but can ferment well in the range of 3.5 to 6.0. Optimal fermentation temperature is dependent on other stresses present (organic acid, ethanol and pH) but generally ferments well in the range of 32°C to 37°C (90°F to 98°F). Under proper conditions, Fali can produce ethanol up to and beyond 16% w/v.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
- Yeast can be added directly to a fermenter at a dose rate of between 0.1 and 0.5 kilograms per 1000 liters (1 and 4 pounds per 1000 gallons).
- Yeast conditioning can also be performed to acclimate the yeast for fermentation, increase the pitching cell mass and shorten the lag phase in the fermenter.
PACKAGING
Fali Bioethanol Yeast (Grain) is packaged in vacuum-sealed foil bags and shipped in cardboard boxes. Each package contains 10kg (22lb) with 60 boxes per pallet.
STORAGE
Boxes should be stored in a cool dry space. Product should be used within two years of its production date for best performance. Packages which have lost their vacuum seal should not be used. Opened packages can be stored cool and used within 3 to 4 days..

ETHABLE-VMC
(Antimicrobial is a dry formulation of certain antimicrobial strains along with dextrose, protease and starch (glucose) hydrolyzing enzymes)
Description:
Ethable-VMC, antimicrobial is a dry formulation of certain antimicrobial strains along with dextrose, protease and starch (glucose) hydrolyzing enzymes, which are soluble in ethanol and dispersible in water, specific for use in molasses & grain-based ethanol production
Properties:
Ethable-VMC is effective during emergency and regular maintenance conditions to control Grampositive bacterial infections, because of its superior stability at low pH and high temperature during fuel ethanol fermentation. It is much more stable at mash pH levels, as low as 3.0, in contrast to other antibiotics that start degrading rapidly at pH of 5.0. As a result of its stability Ethable-VMC is effective throughout the entire fermentation process. The degradation of Ethable-VMC is ultimately a function of time and temperature. DDGS dryers typically operate at temperatures as high as 800 ⁰F and will cause rapid breakdown of antimicrobial strains.
Lactic acid is an undesirable by-product of alcohol fermentation and can stop or seriously inhibit the metabolism of carbohydrates into alcohol by yeast. Lactic acid bacteria (such as Lactobacillus sp.) are the most common type of Gram-positive bacteria that produce lactic acid, consume sugar otherwise available for ethanol production and produce enzymes that affect the fermentation process.
How does Ethable-VMC Work:
Ethable-VMC kills and stops the multiplication of Gram-positive organisms like Lactobacillus.
During alcohol fermentation, these organisms produce lactic acid. Specifically, Ethable-VMC has a natural distribution of 2 molecules (M & S factors) that inhibit protein synthesis at two different ribosomal subunit locations in the bacterial cell, which prevents bacterial cells from multiplying (bacteriostasis) or to lyse (bacterial death-bactericidal).
Dosage
Ethable-VMC is added to fermenter during fermentation. Normal recommended dosage rates are between 1 ppm to 4 ppm (2 ppm is most common) dependent upon the level of bacteria present. Concentration is calculated using the ratio of 1 ppm equals 1 lb. in 108,000 gallons. Dosage should not exceed 4.0 ppm during the fermentation cycle. STORAGE
Boxes should be stored in a cool dry space. Product should be used within two years of its production date for best performance. Packages which have lost their vacuum seal should not be used. Opened packages can be stored cool and used within 3 to 4 days..
