CBS Customized Brewing Solutions

CBS Customized Brewing Solutions Sorgamyl is a mixture of vegetal and fungal maltogenic amylases (EC 3.2.1.1). Sorgamyl is able to produce high levels of maltose by saccharifying sorghum starch using a conventional brewing material.

CBS Customized Brewing Solutions Exalase is produced by fermentation of a selected strain of Bacillus subtilis and contains alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase activity. In classical lager fermentations without the use of Exalase, alpha-acetolactate is slowly converted to diacetyl by rising the temperature at the end of main fermentation and diacetyl is reduced by yeast to acetoin during the maturation period. Exalase can be used to catalyze the decarboxylation of alpha-acetolactate directly to acetoin since the beginning of excretion of alpha-acetolactate by yeast. The maturation period could be eliminated as far as diacetyl is concerned.

CBS Customized Brewing Solutions Papain-Clarase is the commercial name of a mixture of proteolytic enzymes extracted from papaya-tree carica papaya and purified and standardized by CBS. The enzymatic latex is harvested by tapping of the fruit before maturity and purified by a new patented process. PAPAIN-CLARASE contains a mixture of proteinases and peptidases isoenzymes like carboxy-exo-peptidase, chymopapain, papain and lysozyme. Papain-Clarase has both endo and exo-proteolytic activity and allows to reach the highest level of hydrolysis among the other commercially available food endo-propteases because it has a typical broad-spectrum attack on nine different peptide bonds.

CBS Customized Brewing Solutions Guminase P is a mixture of fungal ß-glucanases, pentosanases, amylases and endoproteases selected to improve the wort extract yield and the wort filtration rate when brewing with raw wheat or raw barley.

CBS Customized Brewing Solutions Desatase (Mashing) is an amylolytic preparation (EC 3.2.1.41, pullulan 6-glucano-hydrolase) which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the alpha-1,6 linkages of amylopectine allowing to reach higher maltose yields in combination with maltogenic amylases.

CBS Customized Brewing Solutions Glucanylase is a mixture of ß-glucanases, pentosanases, proteases and a thermostable liquefying alpha-amylase working at high temperatures (90-100°C). Glucanylase has been designed to improve the wort filtration yield when protein gels, unliquefied starch, ß-glucans and/or pentosanes are involved in wort filtration problems. The thermostable liquefying alpha-amylase is ideal to liquefy small granules of starch (from rice, maïs, barley, wheat, etc.) during the boiling of maisches as well as during the boiling of the whole mash. Glucanylase gives higher wort filtration yields, higher extract yields and brighter worts and prevents the presence of higher alpha-glucans in final beer.

CBS Customized Brewing Solutions Sorgainase is a mixture of vegetal endoproteases and fungal exopeptidase standardized to 160 tyrosine units with a proteic hydrolysate. The endoproteolytic fraction hydrolyses proteins, peptides, amides, amino-acids esters, preferently of basic amino-acids, leucine and glycine. The fungal exopeptidase has an amino-peptidase activity with special affinity for leucine, alanine and glycine.

CBS Customized Brewing Solutions Liquamyl B is a liquefying a-amylase working at 65-75°C. This liquefying a-amylase is ideal to liquefy the granules of starch (from rice, maïs, barley, wheat) during mashing giving higher wort filtration yields, higher extract yields and brighter worts. The starch liquefied by Liquamyl-B is ideally prepared to produce high levels of maltose when saccharified with malt, Maltosylase or Sorgamyl for sorghum starch.

CBS Customized Brewing Solutions Maltosylase (Mashing) is a maltogenic amylase or ß-amylase enzyme. Its function is starch saccharification into maltos.
