Natunase BG (BM)

Enzyme Complex for Improved Mashing, Filtration & Brewery Processing

Non-starch polysaccharides such as cellulose, hemicellulose, β-glucans, and arabinoxylans can contribute to higher viscosity during brewery processing. This can affect filtration, ultra-filtration, centrifugation, and overall process efficiency.

Breaking down these plant-derived carbohydrates can help reduce viscosity and support more efficient malt extraction and beer processing.

Natunase BG (BM)is a food-grade multi-component enzyme complex produced using selected strains of Trichoderma reesei and Penicillium funicolosum. It exhibits activity against cellulose, hemicellulose, β-glucans, arabinoxylans, and other non-starch polysaccharides found in barley, wheat, soy, and other plant-derived substrates.

  • Hydrolyses cellulose and hemicellulose
  • Breaks down β-glucans and arabinoxylans
  • Helps reduce viscosity caused by non-starch polysaccharides
  • Improves filtration efficiency
  • Supports ultra-filtration and centrifugation operations
  • Supports the breakdown of β-glucans, pentosans, and other gums
  • Helps increase the filtration rate of wort and beer
  • Helps avoid haze formation

FAQ's

What brewing challenges does Natunase address?

Natunase addresses processing challenges caused by β-glucans, pentosans, cellulose and other  non-starch polysaccharides that increase viscosity, slow filtration and affect wort and beer processing efficiency.

Can Natunase be used with adjunct-rich brewing recipes?

Natunase is suitable for brewing applications using barley, wheat and other plant-derived raw materials. Product selection and dosage should be optimized according to the grist composition.

Can Natunase help improve brewing consistency?

Yes. By improving mash flow and supporting consistent wort processing under recommended operating conditions, Natunase helps reduce process variability and improve brewing consistency.

How do I choose the appropriate Natunase variant?

The appropriate Natunase variant depends on factors such as raw materials, grist ratio, dosage requirement and brewing process conditions. Catalysts recommends selecting the variant best suited to the application.
