Enzymes For Sugar Industry

In sugar mills mixed juice, high in starch, typically causes poor mud filtration, a reduced boiling house efficiency and increased molasses formation, thus sucrose losses in the raw sugar factory. Dextranase decomposes dextran that has been synthesized by mico-organisms. The sugar juice becomes less viscous and the clarification process is improved. During the processing time, dextranase increases sugar crystallization. It prevents dextran forming flocs, and so enhances the quality of refined sugar.

Enzymetech innovative processing aids were developed specially for the production of granulated and raw sugar from beet and cane. With dextranase and amylase, Enzymetech’s product facilitates the processing of raw materials containing starch and dextrans, increases the sugar yield and optimizes the quality of the sugar crystals. Better clarification of the juice and a longer service life of the filters enable manufacturers to reduce the production costs significantly. 

Enzymetech has the following enzymes for the cane sugar processing industry to improve overall process conditions:  

Techzyme A100 used in the hydrolysis of dextran a polysaccharide formed by bacterial contamination.  The use of the enzymes dextranase and amylase from the Enzymetech is the most efficient means of hydrolyzing dextran even before the sugar leaves the mill and ensuring the production of high-quality sugar a-amylase used in the production of sugar to break down the starch present in sugar cane juice and raw sugar refinery.
