Liquid processing aid Alezim PGA is a glucoamylase-based enzymic product made by fermenting the Aspergillus niger microorganism strain for conversion of partially hydrolyzed starch and dextrins to glucose in the mash during beer production.

Composition: drinking water, glycerol, glucoamylase, preservative.

Presentation: medium viscosity liquid, light brown to dark brown, packed in 5–150 kg plastic canisters.

Liquid processing aid Alezim PGA is a glucoamylase-based enzymic product made by fermenting the Aspergillus niger microorganism strain and is intended for conversion of partially hydrolyzed starch and dextrins to glucose during beer production.

Active substance

  • Glucoamylase

Advantages

  • maximum increase in the degree of starch conversion to fermentable sugars;

  • reduction in the content of residual carbohydrates;

  • provision of a high degree of fermentation;

  • ensuring hydrolysis of the residual starch.

Mechanism of action

Alezim PGA hydrolyzes α-1,4- and α-1,6-glycoside bonds in starch, dextrins and oligosaccharides, splitting glucose molecules from non-reducing ends of chains, which ensures accumulation of fermentable sugar in the wort.


Efficacy

Alezim PGA makes it possible to compensate for an insufficient degree of starch hydrolysis and high content of non-fermentable dextrins in the wort, thus reducing the terms of the primary fermentation of wort and increasing the degree of beer fermentation.

Operating pH range: 4.0–7.0

Operating temperature range: 40–65 °C


Use

Alezim PGA is applied depending on the accepted scheme and process goals during various stages of the production process, namely, during the mashing and fermentation stages.

Alezim PGA dosage depends on the type of malt-free material, malt quality, introduction stage and production process flow.


Safety and first aid measures


When working with the substance, use personal protection equipment: respirators, protective goggles and rubber gloves. Contact of the product with damaged skin or mucous membranes may cause slight irritation. In this case, rinse the affected area thoroughly with running water.
