<h2>Boost dextrose levels and dry solids in saccharification</h2>

Find the solution that is right for you

Saccharification

Enzymes for saccharification

During starch refining, the liquefact must be converted – or saccharified – into a high-dextrose sweetener.  With Novozymes, you can lower your cost of conversion, boost dextrose levels and dry solids, and reduce energy costs.

What is saccharification?

See our solutions

Saccharification should run smoothly with high dextrose yields and lower reversion rates. But things don’t always go smoothly.

The challenges can include things like fluctuating demand that can cause the time in saccharification to be uneven, making enzyme-dosing inefficient. Or reversion to isomaltose. Or the inability to run at higher dry substance and obtain your DX target.

Novozymes can help you achieve efficient saccharification and high dextrose targets with lower reversion rates and isomaltose.

How can enzymes help?

Find the right solution for you in our global portfolio, shown below. To find out more about products available in your region, <a href="#getintouch">get in touch</a> with your local Novozymes representative.

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:
