How sweet? The answers are inside
Our enzymes can help you find the right level of sweetness from inside each grain. One delivers a prolonged reaction which leads to maltose formation. This creates mildly sweet rice-based drinks. Another converts maltose into glucose, which is ideal for producing sweeter drinks.
