Natunase TAA 4S

Thermostable Alpha-Amylase for Brewery Adjunct Liquefaction

The use of adjuncts is widespread in brewing, but their higher gelatinization temperature can require thermostable enzymes for separate liquefaction and consistent extract recovery.

Efficient liquefaction at elevated temperature is especially important when processing high dissolved solids and adjuncts such as rice.

Natunase TAA 4S is a thermostable endo-alpha-amylase developed for brewery adjunct liquefaction. It enables liquefaction at elevated temperatures and supports the use of variable adjunct feedstocks, particularly rice, at high dry solids.

  • Thermostable formulation
  • Supports liquefaction at elevated temperatures
  • Reduces viscosity
  • Supports consistent extract yield
  • Performs at high solids of ≥30
  • Effective at low recommended dosage
  • Supports reduced water usage during high-DS liquefaction
  • Helps increase brewhouse capacity utilization

Natunase TAA 4S is recommended for :

  • Brewery Adjunct Liquefaction
  • Liquefaction Tanks
  • Rice-Based Adjunct Processing
  • Variable Adjunct Feedstocks
  • High Dry Solids Liquefaction

  • Thermostable alpha-amylase formulation
  • Designed for brewery adjunct liquefaction
  • Suitable for high-temperature processing
  • Supports high-solids liquefaction
  • Helps maintain consistent extract yield
  • Effective at a comparatively low dosage

The objective was to optimize the brewing process by replacing the existing enzyme and process-aid system with an alternative enzyme solution, with a focus on reducing enzyme and additive costs, shortening Total Processing Time (TPT), improving wort filtration efficiency, maintaining required wort quality and production parameters, ensuring consistent fermentation performance, and eliminating unnecessary process inputs wherever possible.

FAQ's

Can NATUNASE support brewing with different raw materials?

Yes. NATUNASE includes enzyme solutions suitable for brewing applications involving malt as well as adjunct grains such as rice and other cereals, depending on the process requirement and selected enzyme.

Why should breweries optimise their mashing process instead of increasing production time?

Improving process efficiency often delivers greater benefits than extending production time. Depending on the application, NATUNASE helps improve mash processing, filtration, extract recovery, and brewhouse throughput without requiring changes to existing brewing equipment.

When should a brewery consider using NATUNASE?

Breweries experiencing challenges related to starch processing, mash viscosity, wort separation, extract recovery, or adjunct brewing can evaluate the appropriate NATUNASE enzyme to optimise process performance.
