Posted on: Monday, 22 June 2009, 07:00 CDT
- Focus on the development and distribution of enzymes for starch processing and starch-based ethanol production in
"Verenium welcomes the opportunity to work with Add Food Service for the distribution of Fuelzyme and Veretase," said
Fuelzyme and Veretase alpha amylases are high performance enzymes for the liquefaction of starch-based mashes and slurries for use in fuel ethanol (Fuelzyme) and food and beverage (Veretase) applications. Verenium will continue to directly market and sell these products in
About Fuelzyme Alpha Amylase
Fuelzyme alpha amylase is a unique high performance enzyme designed to significantly improve the efficiency and economics of fuel ethanol production. Fuelzyme provides exceptional mash viscosity reduction, at a much lower dose, compared to competitive products and is effective over an exceptionally wide temperature and pH range allowing ethanol producers greater operational flexibility. Fuelzyme is an extremely thermostable alpha amylase with a unique mode of action for starch breakdown enabling ethanol producers to achieve significant enzyme dose reductions resulting in sizeable enzyme cost savings. Furthermore, the ability of Fuelzyme to effectively perform mash liquefaction at a much lower pH than competitor products can reduce chemical usage.
About Veretase Alpha Amylase
Veretase alpha amylase is a high performance enzyme designed to significantly improve the efficiency and economics of sweetener and beverage alcohol production. With a unique mode of action this enzyme breaks down starch into a more uniform blend of lower molecular weight oligosaccharides, improving saccharification and fermentation efficiency and consistency. Veretase possesses extreme thermostability and low pH activity, and has been shown to be effective over an exceptionally wide temperature and pH range providing sweetener and beverage alcohol producers greater operational flexibility and reduced processing costs. Veretase also provides exceptional mash viscosity reduction at a much lower dose over competitive products.
