Our OPTIMASH® range of products consists of a diverse line of accessory enzymes including:

• Xylanases - hydrolyze the arabinoxylans in the corn fiber making previously unavailable starch accessible. Alpha-amylases can now act on this starch and allow it to be converted to fermentable sugars.
• Cellulases – increases corn oil yield by freeing oil from the corn fiber matrix, improves energy efficiency by dewatering the corn kernel fiber thereby decreasing natural gas usage, and enables customer to generate in-situ cellulosic ethanol gallons
• Proteases - for increased corn oil and ethanol yield paired with a lipase for superior foam control.
• Phytases - efficiently hydrolyzes phytate under ethanol fermentation conditions, generating inositol, an important yeast nutrient while maximizing the level of free phosphate in residuals (DDGS).
• Trehalases - for hydrolyzing extracellular trehalose to glucose during the SSF process, which can then be converted into additional ethanol.

FermaSure® is a line of antibiotic-free fermentation additives that rapidly attack and decrease harmful bacteria, allowing you to increase your ethanol fermentation rates and efficiency.

Benefits include:

• Higher ethanol yields
• Consistent batch-to-batch performance
• No antibiotic residue in DDGs
• No bacterial resistance
• Less down time in the plant
