SPEZYME® Alpha-Amylase Enzymes

Liquefaction

How We Help

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.

Key Benefits and Applications

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.

Product Applications THERMOSTABILITY IONIC DEPENDENCY PH RANGE
SPEZYME® ENDURASE The technologies embodied in SPEZYME® alpha-amylase products provide benefits not optimized with traditional amylases alone.

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.​
