AILAZYME® BA Series

High-performance alpha-amylase solutions for starch liquefaction and ethanol production

The AILAZYME® BA Series is a family of heat-stable alpha-amylase solutions developed for efficient starch liquefaction in starch processing and ethanol production. Designed for demanding industrial applications, these enzymes rapidly hydrolyze α-1,4 glycosidic bonds, reducing mash viscosity and producing soluble dextrins for efficient downstream saccharification and fermentation.

Multiple product grades are available to match different raw materials, operating temperatures, pH conditions, and plant requirements

Product Overview

The AILAZYME® BA Series includes industrial heat-stable alpha-amylase preparations produced through controlled microbial fermentation. These enzymes are designed to catalyze the hydrolysis of gelatinized starch during the liquefaction stage, rapidly reducing viscosity while producing soluble dextrins suitable for further conversion into fermentable sugars.

Different grades within the BA Series have been developed to provide optimum performance across various starch sources, operating temperatures, and industrial process conditions.

Key Benefits

✔️ Supports efficient starch liquefaction in high-temperature processes

✔️ Helps reduce viscosity rapidly for improved mash handling and process flow

✔️ Promotes the formation of soluble dextrins for downstream conversion

✔️ Suitable for both starch processing and ethanol / alcohol production

✔️ Performs across a broad pH and temperature range

✔️ Can also be applied in selected brewing processes

Applications in Ethanol and Alcohol Production

For bio-ethanol and potable alcohol production from wheat or other cereals, the BA Series supports efficient starch liquefaction prior to saccharification and fermentation. By reducing mash viscosity and improving starch accessibility, it helps create a more manageable substrate for downstream alcohol production.

Typical ethanol / alcohol applications

Bio-ethanol production from cereal starch
Potable alcohol production from wheat and other cereals
High-temperature liquefaction prior to saccharification and fermentation
Improved mash flow and starch conversion in upstream alcohol processing

Process advantages in ethanol applications

Helps stabilize starch liquefaction before fermentation
Supports efficient conversion of starch into fermentable intermediates
Improves mash handling in cereal-based ethanol processes
Suitable for demanding process conditions in industrial alcohol production

Applications in Starch Processing

In starch processing, the BA Series is designed to support the liquefaction stage by reducing starch slurry viscosity and converting gelatinized starch into soluble dextrins. This improves downstream processability and prepares the substrate for subsequent saccharification steps in starch-sugar production.

Typical starch processing applications

Starch liquefaction in cereal-based processes
Production of starch sugars and dextrin-rich hydrolysates
Viscosity reduction before downstream saccharification
Improved handling and pumping of liquefied starch streams

Process advantages in starch applications

Fast viscosity reduction at elevated temperatures
Improved starch accessibility for downstream enzymes
Stable performance across a wide pH and temperature range
Better process efficiency in starch conversion workflows
