Enzymes for Distilling

Enzyme blends for better crafted products

With enzymes by Novozymes, fine spirit makers can enhance their distilling and fermentation processes for a better yield and bottom line. The benefits to using enzymatic blends for your next batch include improved liquefaction and saccharification (maximizing your fermentable sugar yield), enhanced processing and reduced viscosity for increased capacity.

Enhance your distilling process using enzymes

Enzymatic treatment of distiller's grains (raw materials) in the cooking process helps enhance the conversion of starch to fermentable sugars. Improving this process results in a faster fermentation and higher alcohol yields. Using a multi-enzyme blend can also help lower mash viscosity, which means higher dry solids levels for higher output. Using enzymes to lower viscosity also reduces energy and water costs for more efficient and sustainable production for your distillery.

Reduce cost of your liquefaction system

Novonesis’ advanced thermostable alpha-amylases help distillers achieve higher ethanol yields through lower mash viscosity. These processing aids work across a broad pH range without needing additional calcium, helping distillers save on energy and chemical consumption costs for more effective and efficient processing.

Improve your fermentation throughput and performance

Heat-stable dual- and multi-enzyme blends from Novonesis can improve the fermentation process by increasing the conversion in your cook for better throughput and performance. Enzymatic ingredient solutions also add the right nutrient levels at the right time, resulting in a reduction of stress-induced congeners and sustained yeast vitality.
