Abstract
The present invention relates to processes for producing a fermentation product, such as ethanol, from milled starch-containing material comprising (a) saccharifying the milled starch-containing material with a glucoamylase having an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, or a glucoamylase being at least 70% identical thereto, at a temperature below the initial gelatinization temperature of said starch-containing material, (b) fermenting using a fermenting organism.
Claims20
A process for producing a fermentation product, comprising:
- (a) saccharifying a starch-containing material with a glucoamylase at a temperature below the initial gelatinization temperature of the starch-containing material, wherein the glucoamylase comprises the amino acid sequence of amino acids 1-561 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2, and
- (b) fermenting using a fermenting organism,
- wherein the saccharification and fermentation are carried out simultaneously and the temperature during the saccharification and fermentation is between 28° C. and 36° C.
