Advanced Starch Processing Enzymes
Novonesis Biosolutions:
Karam Kimya is the official channel partner/distributor in Pakistan of Novonesis (previously Novozymes) in Pakistan for the starch industry, providing advanced enzymatic solutions, process optimization, and technical support for starch processors across the country.
Through our partnership with Novonesis, we deliver world-class biotechnology solutions that help starch producers increase yield, reduce energy consumption, and improve product consistency across corn, wheat, tapioca, and other starch sources.
Our team supports starch manufacturers with product supply, technical implementation, and process optimization to ensure maximum operational efficiency and market competitiveness.
Advanced Enzymes for Starch Processing:
Modern starch processing relies on highly specialized enzymes to convert raw starch into valuable products such as glucose syrup, fructose syrup, maltose, and maltodextrin. Enzymatic solutions replace harsh chemical treatments, delivering higher product quality, safer operations, and lower environmental impact.
Karam Kimya supplies the complete range of Novonesis enzyme solutions for starch processing, helping manufacturers optimize every stage of production.
Key Applications in the Starch Industry:
Liquefaction
Liquefaction is the first critical step in starch conversion where gelatinized starch is broken down into dextrins.
Key benefits of optimized liquefaction:
- Reduced viscosity during processing
- Higher starch conversion efficiency
- Improved downstream saccharification performance
- Reduced energy consumption
Novonesis Liquefaction Enzymes:
- Novonesis LpHera® – Unique, low-pH alpha-amylase. It’s a thermostable alpha-amylase for dry grind ethanol production.
- Liquozyme® Supra – Thermostable enzymes designed for efficient starch breakdown
These enzymes ensure rapid and efficient liquefaction while maintaining process stability under high temperatures.
Saccharification
During saccharification, dextrins produced in liquefaction are converted into fermentable sugars such as glucose and maltose.
Novonesis Saccharification Enzymes:
Extenda® Go 3.5 Extra – Gives you a range of options so you can draw a better line to your plant’s sweet spot.
Maltogenase® – Enzymes designed for maltose production
BAN® 480 LS – suitable for use in maltose production as a processing aid to improve filtration rates and de-hazing of syrups.
These solutions enable starch processors to produce:
- Glucose syrup
- High fructose corn syrup (HFCS)
- Maltose syrup
- Fermentation substrates
Benefits of Enzyme-Based Starch Processing:
Higher Yield
Enzymes maximize the conversion of starch into valuable sugars and derivatives.
Lower Operating Costs
Improved process efficiency reduces energy, water, and chemical usage.
Improved Product Quality
Consistent enzymatic performance ensures uniform syrup quality and better processing.
Sustainable Manufacturing
Enzymatic processes reduce environmental impact by lowering consumption.
