Novozymes launches new Spirizyme products for highest total sugar conversion

In Denmark, Novozymes announced the launch of Spirizyme 2.0 T and Spirizyme Ultra T for the European ethanol market. The two products are part of the Spirizyme T Portfolio, glucoamylase enzymes with trehalase that deliver yield enhancing activities documented to provide the highest total sugar conversion in the industry.

The products have a low risk of process errors and can be easily integrated in the production. The portfolio is built on industry known glucoamylase blends, now with the addition of trehalase to further enhance performance.

Thomas Schrøder, Vice President of Biorefining Commercial for Novozymes said in the press release, “Reducing residual sugar, such as trehalose, through better conversion, generates up to EUR 850,000 more ethanol revenue for the plant. Extensive plant trials of the Spirizyme T products have shown that they reduce the amount of residual DP2 sugars by up to 70 percent.”
