What are Distillery Enzymes?


Distilleries can be differentiated on the basis of the type of feedstock they use which mainly comprise two types of sugar-based and starch-based.

Sugar-based distillery enzymes are further divided into feedstocks such as treated Cane Juice, Cane Molasses, Beet Juice and Beet Molasses. On the other hand, starch-based distilleries are further divided into grains and tubers like Rice, Wheat, Corn, Barley, Millet and Cassava roots.

Enzymes have been widely used in distilleries for various benefits like increasing the yield and efficiency by utilising dextrins and polymers which Yeast cannot metabolise directly, streamlining the processes, eliminating bacterial contaminants, which thus lower by-products and improve spirit quality.

Distillers enzymes are essential in the distillery industry, enhancing efficiency, yield, and spirit quality. They break down complex sugars in sugar-based distilleries, while converting starches in grains and tubers for starch-based distilleries. These enzymes streamline processes, eliminate contaminants, and improve overall productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions ,Distillery Enzymes

What enzymes are used in distillery and ethanol production?

Distillery enzymes include alpha-amylase (liquefies starch in mash), glucoamylase (saccharifies dextrins to fermentable glucose), proteases (releases free amino nitrogen for yeast nutrition), and beta-glucanase or xylanase (reduces mash viscosity in cereal-based feedstocks).

How does enzyme dosage affect ethanol yield?

Optimised enzyme dosage typically improves ethanol yield by 1–3% versus suboptimal dosing, while also reducing fermentation cycle time and improving consistency. Over-dosing increases cost without proportional yield gain; under-dosing limits glucose availability for yeast.

What is the difference between sugar-based and starch-based distillery enzymes?

Sugar-based distilleries (molasses, cane juice) primarily need invertase, low-dose protease, and yeast nutrient management. Starch-based distilleries (grain, cassava, broken rice) need a full enzyme stack: alpha-amylase, glucoamylase, protease, and viscosity-reducing enzymes.

Can enzymes work in continuous fermentation systems?

Yes — Infinita Biotech distillery enzymes are formulated for both batch and continuous fermentation. In continuous systems, enzyme activity profile and stability across the cascade are critical — application trials confirm dosage and addition points.

What is the typical pH and temperature range for distillery enzymes?

Liquefaction alpha-amylase operates at pH 5.5–6.5 and 85–105°C (high-temp formulations available). Saccharification glucoamylase operates at pH 4.0–4.5 and 60–65°C. Yeast-friendly proteases operate at pH 4.0–5.5 at 28–32°C during fermentation.

Are distillery enzymes compatible with all yeast strains?

Yes — enzyme action precedes and supports yeast fermentation rather than competing with it. The enzymes are inactive at fermentation conditions or denature with the boil-off, so they do not interfere with downstream distillation.

How can a distillery start using Infinita Biotech enzymes?

Reach the distillery enzymes team at sales@infinitabiotech.com with the feedstock type, daily mash volume, current yield, and any existing enzyme supplier benchmarks. Trial samples and on-site application support are available for pre-supply trials.
