SPEZYME® alpha-amylases convert cooked starch to soluble dextrins in the liquefaction process. These dextrins may be converted to multiple products using different process steps with significant energy savings possible.
SPEZYME® alpha-amylases embody several features that enable robust performance in various process conditions. When used in starch liquefaction, IFF’s SPEZYME® alpha-amylases are of excellent stability against high temperatures and low pH as well as little dependence on calcium levels, etc.
Thorough and reliable removal of residual starch, leaving no iodine-staining material in dextrose hydrolysate.
Rapid viscosity reduction, allowing high solids liquefaction, with gains in throughput and reduced evaporation costs.
Minimal spin-tube sediment in dextrose hydrolysate, correlating with good hydrolysate filtration.
Operation at lower pH to minimize loss of dextrose to maltulose and color formation, reducing chemical and refining costs.
Operation without added calcium in most systems.
