CTE Global SZM XT-20+

CTE Global SZM XT-20+ is a purified native fungal α-amylase that breaks down amylose and amylopectin of starch to shorter chain dextrins and maltose. Its application decreases mash viscosity thereby increasing the efficiency of hydrolysis by glucoamylase.

Features & Benefits

Labeling Claims
Performance Benefits

SZM XT-20+ provides the following benefits to ethanol producers:

  • Lower total residual sugars at drop
  • Increased ethanol production and oil when applicable.
  • Viscosity reduction of Beer/Stillage/Syrup.
  • Lower syrup solids/volume.
  • Lower residual DP4+ material due to increased conversion.
  • Lower residual starch in DDGS.
  • Lower glycerol production due to a more proportional glucose/maltose profile reducing osmotic stress.
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

Dosage Recommendation

SZM XT-20+ should be dosed at 0.0041 – 0.0082 % 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.
