Enhancing Molasses Fermentation Efficiency and Quality
Fermenting molasses and syrup presents significant challenges for distillers due to their high levels of fermentable sugars. These materials can create a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, leading to contamination from sources like untreated water, wastewater recycling, and aeration processes. This contamination can result in lower fermentation efficiency and revenue losses.
Enhancing Alcohol Yield & Quality with Alcon
- Breaking Down Unfermentable Sugars: Unfermentable sugars can impede fermentation and lead to lower alcohol yields. Alcon's high-performance enzymes effectively break down these sugars for a more complete fermentation process.
- Contamination Control: Contaminants can negatively affect flavor and product integrity. Our advanced antimicrobial formulations help maintain a cleaner fermentation environment, allowing desired yeast strains to thrive.
How Alcon Helps Overcome Fermentation Challenges
Microbial contamination not only consumes vital fermentable sugars but also produces by-products like lactic acid, which can harm yeast health and lead to lower ethanol yields. Alcon provides specialized antimicrobial solutions and advanced yeast health optimizers to mitigate these risks and ensure smoother operations.
