The solution is designed to break down starch in a way that creates more dextrose when compared to conventional alpha-amylases. The result is higher yields and chemical, water and energy savings.
The combined benefits can enable a starch processor save up to a dollar per metric tonne of substrate.
“LpHera brings the liquefaction pH level as low as 4.5-4.8,” said Thomas Nilsson, global launch manager for food at Novozymes. “This means you can reduce your use of pH chemicals in some instances by more than 50%. It also prolongs the ion exchange service cycle, which in turn enables more savings on chemicals, water and wastewater.”
