Starch/Ethanol

To make full use of starch-base raw materials, the starch must be hydrolyzed to small molecules in order to produce sweeteners or provide fermentable sugars. Starch & ethanol enzyme can catalyze this kind of reactions and convert starch to glucose. What's more, it can also hydrolyze the protein in starch-based feedstock to release more nutrition, increasing the yield of fermentation products. As a kind of food addictive, starch & ethanol enzyme plays an important role on starch sweetener and ethanol industry improving production efficiency greatly.

FAQs Of Starch/Ethanol

What are the advantages of enzymatic hydrolysis sweetener compared to the one with acid hydrolysis process?

A:

(1) The factory can get higher convertion rate utilizing enzyme instead of acid.

(2) The enzymatic reaction is under mild conditions with less operational risk.

(3) The taste is better than traditional acid hydrolysis sweetener.

Why do yeast need enzyme china in ethanol fermentation?

A:

(1) Yeast can't utilize starch directly.

(2) Enzyme can break down long starch chain into small molecules which can be absorbed by yeast to produce ethanol thus improve utilization rate of starch.

What's the purpose of adding protease in starch-based feedstock fermentation?

A:

Corn starch is the common feedstock applied in ethanol production and it also contains a small amount of protein. Protease can hydrolyse protein to free amino nitrogen providing nutrition to yeast and finally increase ethanol yield.
