Enzyliq Super AX

Efficient Alpha-Amylase for Adjunct Liquefaction in Malt Processing

Adjunct liquefaction requires effective breakdown of gelatinized starch while maintaining suitable operating conditions during malt processing. High starch viscosity can make processing more difficult and affect overall liquefaction efficiency.

Efficient starch hydrolysis can support shorter liquefaction time, improved operational flexibility, and better utilization of different grain-based adjuncts.

Enzyliq Super AX is an endo alpha-amylase specially designed for adjunct liquefaction in the malt industry. It randomly hydrolyses α-1,4-glucosidic bonds to reduce gelatinized starch viscosity and has demonstrated performance across starches from corn, sorghum, wheat, rice, and barley.

  • Provides efficient liquefaction in a short time span
  • Helps prevent retrograded starch formation during mashing
  • Supports savings in ion-exchange costs through reduced chemical utilization
  • Enables cost-effective processing across different plant designs
  • Provides operational flexibility
  • Maintains constant activity during storage
  • Higher activity helps reduce ordering, handling, and shipping requirements

Enzyliq Super AX is suitable for liquefaction of starches from :

  • Corn
  • Sorghum
  • Wheat
  • Rice
  • Barley
  • Grain adjuncts used in malt processing
