Ethanol & Bioethanol Enzymes

AILAZYME® enzyme solutions support ethanol and bioethanol production through efficient viscosity reduction, starch liquefaction, saccharification, and fermentation optimization for cereal and biomass-based feedstocks. Our specialized enzyme systems help improve starch conversion efficiency, reduce process bottlenecks, enhance fermentable sugar production, and support consistent fermentation performance across modern industrial ethanol facilities.

Four-Stage Ethanol Production Process

AILAZYME® enzyme solutions support every critical stage of ethanol production, from viscosity reduction and starch liquefaction to saccharification and fermentation optimization.

STAGE 01

STAGE 02

STAGE 03

Viscosity Reduction

Starch Liquefaction

Saccharification

Reduce slurry viscosity before liquefaction through the degradation of cell wall polysaccharides and gums present in cereals. Specialized xylanase, hemicellulase, and cellulase systems improve mash handling, mixing efficiency, and process performance.

During high-temperature processing, starch granules absorb water and gelatinize, forming a highly viscous mash. Alpha-amylase enzymes hydrolyze starch macromolecules into lower-molecular-weight dextrins, reducing viscosity and creating optimal conditions for downstream saccharification.

Following liquefaction, glucoamylase enzymes convert dextrins into glucose through enzymatic hydrolysis. Efficient saccharification maximizes fermentable sugar production and supports higher ethanol yields.

STAGE 04

Fermentation Performance

Support yeast metabolism and free amino nitrogen generation through targeted protease activity, enhancing fermentation efficiency and alcohol production.
