COPENHAGEN, Denmark,
March 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences is introducing a new enzyme
solution to Australian brewers: LAMINEX® MaxFlow 4G filtration
enzyme. The solution is from the DuPont brewing enzymes range – and
features an unprecedented ability to maximize beer flow, especially
on barley, which is a common ingredient in Australia.
For the large-scale brewer, it's all about keeping cost under
control while ensuring a high and consistent throughput. Modern
brewing enzymes can help provide solutions to many of the inherent
challenges in beer brewing today – from faster processing and
limiting CAPEX to reducing environmental impact by saving
energy.
Using a special combination of β-glucanase and xylanase, DuPont™
LAMINEX® MaxFlow 4G is developed with a particular focus on beer
filtration and the suitability for use with all conventional types
of separation equipment used.
LAMINEX® MaxFlow 4G is very efficient in reducing high-molecular
weight β-glucan and pentosan levels in all types of wort, making
mash separation and beer filtration much easier and faster due to
the reduction in wort viscosity.
Improving mash separation and beer filtration enables brewers to
increase brewhouse yield and reduce energy and water associated
with filter cleaning. As a result, brewers can reduce the use of
water – both in the brewhouse and throughout the supply chain –
allowing them to make gains in their sustainability goals. The
benefits of using LAMINEX® MaxFlow 4G include approximately 0.10
percent higher brewhouse yield, 0.15 percent lower beer losses and
17.5 percent higher throughput at beer filtration.
Jens Eiken, global product
manager for Brewing Enzymes in DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences
explains, "If you aim for a production output of several hundreds
of thousands of hectoliters of beer, what you really need is a
solution to keep things flowing. This solution is very favorable
for high-gravity brewing."
Brewers care about one thing above all: the overall quality of
the beer they brew. But there are many challenges to face along the
way, one of which is to avoid any risk of off-flavor formation when
applying brewing enzymes. Using LAMINEX® MaxFlow 4G can minimize
the risk of off-flavor in the finished beer compared to other
filtration enzymes on the market. The level of ferulic acid is
markedly lower when the brewers apply LAMINEX® MaxFlow 4G as their
brewing enzyme of choice.
Better beer filtration and the reduced risk of filter cake
collapse also will mean that cleaning operations need to take place
much less frequently, allowing brewers to reduce the number of
time-consuming and costly production stops and secure
"right-the-first-time"-approach.
