Novonesis BAN® 480 LS is an alpha-amylase that rapidly hydrolyzes gelatinized starch, reducing its viscosity. It's suitable for use in maltose production as a processing aid to improve filtration rates and de-hazing of syrups. It can also be used to make high-DE maltodextrins.

Product features, details and benefits

  • Filtrate clarityThis product can produce a clearer syrup post filtration.

  • Ease of inactivation

    To inactivate this product, you just need the right temperature and pH conditions. That makes it ideal for secondary applications where residual alpha-amylase activity is undesirable. These include maltodextrin production.


  • Viscosity ReductionHigh viscosity causes a range of problems in your process. These include channeling through the stirred tanks. Pumps, heat exchangers, jet cookers and agitation all run better at low viscosity. Lower viscosity also allows you to operate at higher levels of dry solids. This product reduces viscosity for smoother processing that's better able to withstand variations.

  • Viscosity reduction in liquefaction

    Low


  • Suitable for organic products

    This product is suitable for use in production of organic baked goods, where it delivers improved softness.


You can use BAN® 480 LS in several processes. It delivers viscosity reduction and helps resolve filtration problems. These include problems that appear in maltodextrin production. BAN® 480 LS also helps resolve post-saccharification filtration problems in maltose or dextrose syrup production.

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:

  • 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
