    Features & Benefits

    Food Ingredients Features
    Purposes
    • To increase the fermentability of wort (apparent attenuation limit) by hydrolysing the alpha-limit-dextrines into maltose units by the combined action of a limit dextrinase and a maltogenic amylase.
    • Decrease of malt quantity used to produce a 4.5% v/v alcool beer by addition of Maxiferm in the fermentor.
