Enzymes for liquefaction

What is liquefaction?

Liquefaction uses heat and alpha-amylase to convert granular starch into starch hydrolysate (DEx) to be saccharified later. With Novozymes, you can run liquefaction at a lower pH, preventing problems and saving costs.

Alpha-amylase :

Endo-amylase that hydrolyzes (1,4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in starch polysaccharides.
