Enzymol Protect Advance

Integrated Product & Process Solution for Preserving Sugars in B-Heavy Molasses

Preserving Reducing Sugars During Molasses Storage

Reducing sugars in B-Heavy molasses can deteriorate during storage, resulting in significant losses for sugar factories and allied distilleries. The PDS identifies sugar losses of up to 15% due to deterioration during molasses storage.

Storage can also be associated with microbial activity, caramelisation and furfural formation, foaming, volatile acidity, and lactic acid formation, which can subsequently affect fermentation performance.

Enzymol Protect Advance is a product-and-process solution developed by the Catalysts team to preserve reducing sugars in B-Heavy molasses during storage. The solution combines regular product dosing with circulation, temperature maintenance, process monitoring, HPLC and microbial analysis, and dosage optimisation

FAQ's

What happens if molasses are stored without protection?

Microbial deterioration can increase reducing sugars, organic acids, foaming, and fermentation losses during storage. Enzymol Protect Advance is designed to prevent these changes.

Is this only a product or a complete preservation program?

It is a complete preservation solution combining the product with process optimization, laboratory analysis, dosage supervision, operator training, and technical support.

How is dosage optimized?

Dosage recommendations are based on joint site evaluations, HPLC analysis, microbial testing, and storage conditions to ensure effective preservation.

What economic value does Enzymol Protect Advance deliver against its cost of application?

Every 1x invested in Enzymol Protect Advance generates 18.1x in value, based on 1 tonne of molasses, 20 ppm dosage, and preservation of 1 unit of TRS yielding 5 litres of additional alcohol.
