By releasing more fermentable sugars in the brewhouse, this product supports the need to accelerate your fermentation times.

Accelerate fermentation

This product delivers predictable and targeted real degree of fermentation (RDF). It helps you to control the percentage of fermentable sugars you derive from starch. It allows you to increase fermentable sugars or maintain them at a specific level so you can achieve your desired attenuation.

Achieve desired attenuation

This fast-acting product shortens mashing times. That allows you to increase brewhouse capacity while saving time and energy.

Increase brewhouse capacity

With this product, you can make light or low-calorie beers. It increases the degree of attenuation of the wort. That decreases the proportion of non-fermentable and short-chain dextrin material. The resulting beer will have up to 30% fewer calories than normal-attenuation beer with the same alcohol content.

For light beers

Attenuzyme® Core is a glucoamylase for producing highly fermentable glucose-based worts.

Details

This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.

Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.

Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:

Glucoamylase

Attenuzyme® Base-1

Attenuzyme® Core

Glucoamylases break down starch. They're usually brewers' first choice when making light or low-calorie beers. They're also used to make small attenuation adjustments. Combined with pullulanases, glucoamylases allow brewers to reduce conversion times. 

 
Glucoamylases hydrolyze starch. They break α-1,4-glucosidic linkages at the non-reducing ends of amylose and amylopectin. They're just one of the enzyme classes used to control the degree to which sugars in the wort are fermented into alcohol. Getting attenuation right is about balancing enzyme class, dosage and conversion conditions.

Glucoamylases are typically brewers' first choice when producing highly attenuated beers. Consumers know these as light or low-calorie beers. Glucoamylases can also be used to make small adjustments in attenuation. 

Used in combination with pullulanases, glucoamylases speed up starch breakdown. Brewers can use this enzyme combination to reach attenuation targets in shorter conversion times.

How glucoamylase enzymes help control attenuation in brewing

With the synergistic activity in this enzyme blend you can hit high attenuation targets in short reaction times. That allows you to produce ultra-light beers.

For ultra-light beers

Most brewer&#039;s yeast strains consume the glucose in the wort before other sugars. Only then do they consume maltose. That&#039;s why high levels of glucose in wort can inhibit the fermentation of maltose. With this product, you can achieve a maltose-glucose ratio to suit your specific yeast strain.

Achieved desired maltose-glucose ratio
