Wide operating pH & temperature range
Fuelzyme® 650 alpha-amylase is a next generation enzyme for starch liquefaction in the production of fuel ethanol, as well as other fuel and industrial-use alcohols.
Key Advantages
Cost effective glucoamylase for fuel ethanol production
Glycozyme™ Eclipse is a saccharification enzyme obtained from a classical strain of Aspergillus niger. It produces glucose from liquefied starch in the fuel ethanol production process.
Key Advantages
High activity protease for fuel ethanol production
Fuelpro™ acid protease is a processing aid used for grain based fuel ethanol production and works to hydrolyze proteins into amino acids under low pH conditions.
Key Advantages
Broad operating pH & temperature range
Xylathin® is a highly active xylanase that rapidly degrades xylan to reduce viscosity in cereal-based mashed used in the production of fuel ethanol.
Key Advantages
Broad operating pH & temperature range
Fueltase™ Phytase is utilized during fermentation to liberate free phosphorus from naturally occurring phytic acid during production of ethanol.
Key Advantages
For use in fuel ethanol production
Lutropur® MSA is a high purity methanesulfonic acid. Methanesulfonic acid is a strong and odorless organic acid with a unique property profile that distinguishes it from all other acids.
Key Advantages
TM or ® signifies a trademark or registered trademark of BASF Enzymes LLC or BASF SE in several countries.
