Fungal Alpha-Amylase FAA® is a family of four non-GMO fungal alpha-amylases and is available in both food and industrial grades for use in the baking and fuel ethanol industries. Fungal Alpha-Amylase FAA® is used for starch liquefaction and also saccharification to produce soluble dextrins, maltose, and a small quantity of glucose.

​

DESCRIPTION 

Fungal Alpha-Amylase FAA® is a group of fungal alpha-amylases produced from a non-genetic modified strain of Aspergillus oryzae.

• FAA-280 & FAA-400 are non-GMO fungal alpha-amylases (in liquid form) specifically designed for the fuel ethanol industry. These enzymes allow you to increase the ethanol yield by improving efficiency of saccharification and fermentable sugar conversion.

• FAA-5000 & FAA-5100 are non-GMO food grade fungal alpha-amylases (in powder form) specifically designed for the baking industry. These enzymes allow for improved loaf volume in addition to improved texture and appearance.

BENEFITS

Fuel Ethanol Applications: 

• Maximize fermentation rate and increase yield

• Maximize the utilization of raw materials

• Less glycerol produced

• Less DP4+ residue

• Reduce starch residue in DDGS

• Cost-efficient versus other competitive fungal alpha amylases

 

Baking Applications:

• Enhance dough fermentation ability of biogas production

• Increase the volume of bread

• Improve grain and crumb formation

• Improve appearance and bread flavor

• Improve both bread appearance and flavor
