DuPont launches OPTIMASH DCO+ for increased recovery of corn oil

June 10, 2019 |

In Delaware, DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences has announced the launch of DuPont OPTIMASH DCO+ for increased recovery of corn oil in dry grind ethanol plants. OPTIMASH DCO+ provides a flexible solution for ethanol producers to increase corn oil yield without affecting downstream processes or the quality of distillers’ grains.

OPTIMASH DCO+ is a patent-pending thermostable protease dosed into liquefaction, where it helps to liberate corn oil from the protein and fiber matrix of the corn kernel. Because it is a stand-alone product, ethanl producers can precisely dose OPTIMASH DCO+ without having to change their alpha amylase.
