Enzyliq ST(X) Plus

Efficient Liquefaction Enzyme for Malt Processing

Efficient starch liquefaction is important during malt processing, particularly when different adjuncts and whole-grain starch sources are used. Process conditions such as pH, dry solids, calcium, temperature, raw material, and reaction time can directly influence liquefaction performance.

Reducing the viscosity of gelatinized starch while achieving efficient liquefaction helps support smoother mashing and greater operational flexibility.

Enzyliq ST(X) Plus is a starch-hydrolysing endo alpha-amylase specially designed for liquefaction in malt industry processes. It randomly hydrolyses α-1,4-glucosidic bonds, reducing the viscosity of gelatinized starch and enabling liquefaction of adjuncts including corn, sorghum, wheat, rice, and barley.

  • Provides efficient liquefaction in a short time span
  • Helps prevent retrograded starch formation under low-temperature mashing conditions
  • Enables optimal and cost-effective liquefaction
  • Supports flexibility across different plant designs
  • Maintains constant enzyme activity during storage
  • Higher activity helps reduce ordering, handling, and shipping requirements

Enzyliq ST(X) Plus is suitable for liquefaction of starches from :

  • Corn
