Alpha amylase is a key enzyme in the saccharification process in the production of grain distillates. It is responsible for breaking down the starch present in the grain into smaller sugars needed for fermentation. This not only promotes more efficient fermentation, but also increases the yield of ethanol, which is the main purpose of distillation.
Main advantages:
Reducing wort viscosity: Improves processing quality.
Reducing wort viscosity
