Termamyl BrewQ is an enzyme preparation containing an exceptionally heat-stable alpha-amylase expressed in and produced by a genetically modified strain of Bacillus licheniformis. The enzyme is an endo-amylase that hydrolyzes
1,4-alpha-glucosidic linkages in amylose and amylopectin. Gelatinized starch is rapidly broken down into soluble dextrins and oligosaccharides.
Application:
Termamyl BrewQ is used for the liquefaction (thinning) of adjunct mashes. Due to the extreme heat-stability of the enzyme, the cooking program can be simplified, making the liquefaction process safer.
