BREWING INGREDIENTS - GLUCANYLASE

GLUCANYLASE is a mixture of ß-glucanases, pentosanases, proteases and a thermostable liquefying alpha-amylase working at high temperatures (90-100°C). Glucanylase has been designed to improve the wort filtration yield when protein gels, unliquefied starch, ß-glucans and/or pentosanes are involved in wort filtration problems. The thermostable liquefying alpha-amylase is ideal to liquefy small granules of starch (from rice, maïs, barley, wheat, etc.) during the boiling of « maisches » as well as during the boiling of the whole mash. GLUCANYLASE gives higher wort filtration yields, higher extract yields and brighter worts and prevents the presence of higher alpha-glucans in final beer. TEMPERATURE Proteases, ß-glucanases and pentosanases : 50-60°C alpha-amylase : 90-100°C pH EFFECT Optimum pH between 5 and 6. PURPOSES To improve the wort filtration yield when protein gels, unliquefied starch, ß-glucans and/or pentosanes are involved in wort filtration problems. To reach higher...
