Natunase BG Prime

form: Powder
Appearance: Off-white to Brown

Multi-Enzyme Solution for Improved Brewery Processing

Non-starch polysaccharides and proteins present in grain can contribute to high viscosity and create challenges during mashing and filtration. β-glucans, pentosans, arabinoxylans, and proteins can influence wort processing and filtration performance.

Hydrolysis of these components can support reduced viscosity, improved filtration, and more efficient processing, particularly in brewing systems using different grain types.

Natunase BG Prime is a food-grade multi-component enzyme complex produced from selected strains of Trichoderma reesei. It exhibits activity towards cellulose, hemicellulose, β-glucans, arabinoxylans, and proteins, and is formulated for hydrolysis of non-starch polysaccharides and proteins in barley, wheat, soy, and other plant-derived substrates.

The objective was to optimize the brewing process by replacing the existing enzyme and process-aid system with an alternative enzyme solution, with a focus on reducing enzyme and additive costs, shortening Total Processing Time (TPT), improving wort filtration efficiency, maintaining required wort quality and production parameters, ensuring consistent fermentation performance, and eliminating unnecessary process inputs wherever possible.

FAQ's

What brewing challenges does Natunase address?

Natunase addresses processing challenges caused by β-glucans, pentosans, cellulose and other non-starch polysaccharides that increase viscosity, slow filtration and affect wort and beer processing efficiency.

Can Natunase be used with adjunct-rich brewing recipes?

Natunase is suitable for brewing applications using barley, wheat and other plant-derived raw materials. Product selection and dosage should be optimized according to the grist composition.

Can Natunase help improve brewing consistency?

Yes. By improving mash flow and supporting consistent wort processing under recommended operating conditions, Natunase helps reduce process variability and improve brewing consistency.

How do I choose the appropriate Natunase variant?

The appropriate Natunase variant depends on factors such as raw materials, grist ratio, dosage requirement and brewing process conditions. Catalysts recommends selecting the variant best suited
to the application.
