VitaHop

BetaTec Hop Products Brand

Products:5

Vitahop® is a range of natural hop extracts, ideal for the production of bioethanol from a range of raw material feedstocks, as they protect yeast from bacterial growth, and their acid byproducts, during fermentation processes. When used as part of a planned process regime with regular additions, bacterial infections do not develop and spoil yeast fermentations. When infections do develop, they can quickly get out of control and disrupt production, potentially causing substantial losses and lost revenue. By controlling bacteria and preventing bacterial growth, catastrophic infections can be a thing of the past.

Applications & Uses: Vitahop® is used in both continuous and batch fermentations. It helps ensure healthy, vitalised yeast growth and during fermentation suppress gram positive bacteria. If bacteria are allowed to prosper, they will compete with and eventually inhibit the yeast, slowing fermentation sometimes to a complete stop, resulting in a “stuck” fermentation. Bacteria will also use up valuable feedstock producing organic acids such as lactic acid, further reducing ethanol yields. Prevent this happening with Vitahop®.
