Ailazyme® XYE Series

High-performance xylanase solutions for cereal processing and ethanol production

The Ailazyme® XYE Series is a family of high-performance xylanase solutions developed to improve cereal processing efficiency through rapid viscosity reduction. By hydrolyzing arabinoxylans naturally present in wheat and other cereals, these enzymes improve slurry handling, facilitate mixing and pumping, and create more favorable conditions for downstream enzymatic conversion.

Designed for modern industrial processing, the XYE Series is particularly effective in cereal-based ethanol production, where improved mash flow and process stability contribute to more efficient plant operation. Multiple product grades are available to match different process conditions and production requirements.

Product Overview

The Ailazyme® XYE Series consists of industrial xylanase preparations produced through controlled microbial fermentation. These enzymes specifically hydrolyze endo-1,4-β-D-xylan linkages present in wheat and other cereal raw materials, reducing slurry viscosity during pre-liquefaction. By breaking down cereal hemicellulose components, the XYE Series improves mash rheology, enhances processability, and supports more stable upstream processing before starch liquefaction and fermentation.

Different grades within the series have been developed to provide optimal performance under varying process conditions, allowing enzyme selection according to plant requirements.

Key Benefits

✔️ Rapid viscosity reduction during cereal processing

✔️ Improved mash flow and handling

✔️ Supports efficient pre-liquefaction

✔️ Optimized for cereal-based ethanol production

✔️ Reliable performance across a broad operating range

✔️ Multiple grades available for different process requirements

Within ethanol production, the XYE Series improves upstream processing by reducing mash viscosity before starch liquefaction. Better slurry flow contributes to improved process stability and supports efficient downstream saccharification and fermentation.

Typical applications include:

  • Bioethanol production

  • Potable alcohol production

  • Wheat-based ethanol production

  • Cereal fermentation processes

Applications in Starch Processing

The Ailazyme® XYE Series is designed to improve the processing of wheat and other cereals by reducing slurry viscosity before liquefaction. Lower viscosity improves pumping, mixing, heat transfer, and overall process stability, creating better conditions for downstream enzymatic conversion.

Typical applications include:

  • Wheat processing

  • Cereal slurry conditioning

  • Pre-liquefaction viscosity reduction

  • Industrial cereal processing

Available Product Grades

The Ailazyme® XYE Series includes multiple product grades designed to meet different operating conditions

Ailazyme® XYE-L:

Excellent performance across a broad pH range, including demanding low-pH processing conditions
