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

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
