The apex of any operation is to consistently achieve performance targets. Innova® Apex, hit every curve with confidence. 

Product features, details and benefits

  • Expresses enzymes

    Innova® yeasts express enzymes that have greater debranching and starch degrading activities. The result is a greater conversion for your plant. 


  • Ferments at high dry solids

    Innova® Apex ADY is capable of fermenting up to 38% solids. That allows you to significantly increase the efficiency and expansion of your production.


  • High organic acid tolerance

    Innova® Apex ADY is tolerant to 0.6% lactic acid and 0.4% acetic acid, which means you can finish fermentations as bacterial infections occur.


  • High-temperature tolerance

    We specifically developed Innova® Apex ADY to thrive at temperature excursions up to 36°C/97°F. By using Innova® Apex ADY, you'll diminish downtime, and cut cooling costs. Innova® Apex ADY will increase your plant's efficiency and output in any season.


  • Maximizes starch conversion to improve ethanol yieldInnova® yeasts deliver consistent performance during challenging process conditions. They also express advanced enzymes for greatest starch conversion and improved ethanol yields.

  • Reduces need for additional yeast nutrientsInnova® yeasts are bred to be robust and have high performance without the need for additional yeast nutrients.

  • Optimal fermentation time

    Innova® yeasts are uniquely designed to work in targeted process conditions. That gives you the flexibility to choose a yeast best suited to your operation.


  • Food Grade AvailabilityYou may need or prefer Food Grade Certification of fermentation yeasts for your ethanol production. If so, it's available for this product.

Innova® Apex ADY is a genetically modified yeast designed with flexibility to withstand fermentation stress with ethanol high yields . Innova® Apex ADY powers through organic acid and temperature stress while reducing glycerol, taking production and consistency to new levels.

This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.

Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.

Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:

The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.
  • Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray
  • Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing
  • In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection
  • IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing
  • If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or a doctor
  • Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container
  • Dispose of contents/containers in accordance with local regulations
