Abstract
A method of producing a fermentation product from starch containing material, the method including converting starch containing material to fermentable sugars, wherein the starch containing material is corn; fermenting the fermentable sugars with a microorganism into fermented mash; subjecting fermentation medium, during the fermentation process to an enzyme composition comprising a xylanase and a pectinase; and separating fermentation product from the fermented mash.
Claims10
A method of producing a fermentation product from starch containing material, the method comprising the steps of:
- i) converting starch containing material to fermentable sugars, wherein the starch containing material is corn;
- ii) fermenting the fermentable sugars with a microorganism into fermented mash;
- iii) subjecting fermentation medium, during the fermentation process to an enzyme composition comprising a xylanase and a pectinase;
- and
- iv) separating fermentation product from the fermented mash.
A method of producing a fermentation product, the method comprising:
- (a) liquefying a starch-containing material with an alpha-amylase, pre-saccharifying the liquefied material before step (b);
- (b) saccharifying the liquefied material;
- and
- (c) fermenting using a fermentation organism;
- wherein an enzyme comprises a xylanase and a pectinase is added during the fermentation step (c).
