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.

    Features & Benefits

    Purposes
    • To increase the free amino-nitrogen content when brewing with high levels of raw sorghum.
    • To reach a sufficient free amino-nitrogen level to ensure normal fermentation when brewing with 100% of raw sorghum.
    • The use of raw instead of malted sorghum has many advantages like no mold growth, no malting losses, normal wort filtration rate and avoids the typical raspberry-like flavor imparted to the beer by malted sorghum.
    • The starch liquefaction and saccharification of raw sorghum is described in the technical leaflets of Liquamyl T and Sorgamyl.
