Efficient Liquefaction Enzyme for Malt Processing

Efficient starch liquefaction is important during malt processing, particularly when different adjuncts and whole-grain starch sources are used. Process conditions such as pH, dry solids, calcium, temperature, raw material, and reaction time can directly influence liquefaction performance.

Reducing the viscosity of gelatinized starch while achieving efficient liquefaction helps support smoother mashing and greater operational flexibility.

Enzyliq ST(X) Plus is a starch-hydrolysing endo alpha-amylase specially designed for liquefaction in malt industry processes. It randomly hydrolyses α-1,4-glucosidic bonds, reducing the viscosity of gelatinized starch and enabling liquefaction of adjuncts including corn, sorghum, wheat, rice, and barley.
