Features & Benefits
- Performance Benefits
Glucoamyl L-209+ provides the following benefits to ethanol producers:
- Robust and consistent performance under varied conditions.
- Enzyme conversion kinetics match more closely to yeast growth curve.
- Increased alcohol concentrations.
- Lower residual sugars at end of fermentation.
- Reduced glycerol concentrations throughout fermentation.
- GM Status
This is not a GMO. The enzyme product is manufactured by fermentation of microorganisms that are not present in the final product. The production organisms and the enzyme’s effectiveness are improved by means of modern biotechnology.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application Recommendations
- Glucoamyl L-209+ is used to saccharify liquefied mashes of whole ground corn. The resultant glucose is fermented by yeast to produce ethanol.
- Glucoamyl L-209+ has a broad operating range for enhanced process flexibility, and performs well within the temperature, and pH ranges typical in whole ground corn batch fermentations.
- In high gravity fermentations, performance can be further enhanced by the addition of SZM XT-20 Fungal Alpha Amylase and/or SZM AP-1 Acid Protease.
- Dosage Recommendation
Glucoamyl L-209+ should be dosed at 0.048 - 0.065% weight enzyme / weight as is corn. The actual dose required will depend upon the conditions of your fermentation: time, initial pH and the level of solids.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Unit Definition
One unit of glucoamylase (u) is the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes soluble starch to liberate 1 milligram of glucose per hour under the conditions of the assay.
Safety & Health
- Safety and Enzyme Handling
Glucoamyl L-209+ contains proteins obtained from large-scale cultures of a mold. Proteins may cause an allergic-type reaction in sensitized individuals that could require immediate medical attention. Prolonged direct contact may cause minor irritation to skin, eyes, or mucus membranes.
Packaging & Availability
