Product features, details and benefits

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.

Details

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.

Safe handling

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:
