Industrial Brewings

Beer production is a complex and laborious process that requires the use of key ingredients such as malted barley, water, hops, yeast, and adjuncts. The malt used for brewing determines the colour of the beer, and improper milling or low-quality malt can affect the flavour.

The beer making process is an art form that requires a great deal of precision and attention to detail. From selecting the right malt to managing the fermentation process, every step plays a critical role in the final product. Challenges in brewing can arise from a variety of factors, including the quality of the ingredients used, improper milling, and filtration issues. Slow fermentation, stuck fermentation, foaming, and beer stability are also common challenges that breweries face. Despite these challenges, with the right expertise and dedication, brewers can create high-quality beer that meets the demands of discerning consumers.

Our company offers a wide range of enzymatic solutions designed to cater to the unique needs of the industrial brewing industry. Our innovative products improve the brewing process by breaking down complex sugars, reducing viscosity, and improving filtration, resulting in better quality beer. We also offer customized solutions to meet the specific requirements of our clients, enabling them to produce high-quality beer while maximizing efficiency and profitability.

Our Products

Our offering includes a wide range of enzymes and additives used to improve and facilitate the brewing process such as saccharification of malts and adjuncts, improving trub separation, enhancing the availability of free amino-acid content in the wort, facilitating yeast fining, foam stabilization, chill-haze reduction, and beer stability.

In brewery industry usage of adjuncts is a widespread practice and due to high gelatinisation temperature of adjuncts, usage of thermostable enzyme in separate liquefaction to provide consistent extract yield. Natunase TAA 4S consists of a thermostable α-amylase that offers better extract yields and enables the possibility of using various adjuncts, especially rice, in beer industry at high dissolved solids to increased brew house recovery

Cataglucanase is a food grade complex of enzymes produced by fermentation of selected strains of Trichoderma reesei. The multi-component blend exhibits significant activity towards cellulose, hemicellulose, β-glucans, arabinoxylans & proteins. The enzymes in Cataglucanase hydrolyse these NSP’s & proteins often found in plant-derived substrates.

Natunase BG have efficient Beta-Glucanase represents a group of carbohydrase enzymes which break down glycosidic bonds within beta- glucan. The preparation is mainly used in beer-brewing in the mashing process to ensure efficient breakdown of β-glucans, pentosans and other gums. This reduces the viscosity of the solution and thereby increases the filtration rate of both wort & beer and haze is avoided.

Natunase BG Prime is a prime series having efficient Beta-Glucanase represents a group of carbohydrase enzymes which break down glycosidic bonds within beta- glucan. The preparation is mainly used in beer-brewing in the mashing process to ensure efficient breakdown of β-glucans, pentosans and other gums. This reduces the viscosity of the solution and thereby increases the filtration rate of both wort & beer and haze is avoided. The enzyme is normally inactivated and removed during the industrial production process.

Natumalt Prime is a prime series cocktail enzyme to handle high adjuct to malt ratio in brewing process for better extraction yield and better filtrability rate.

NATUPAP NP is an optimum blend of purified papain and Neutral protease side activity. Papain is extracted from the fruit of papaya tree named Carica papaya. It is collected by trapping the unripe fruit, drying and then purifying the latex.

ENZYMASH is an enzyme for the entire application of un-malted barley, corn, wheat and rice-based grist saccharification & attenuation in brewing mashing process.

ENZYMALT is an amyloglycosidase enzyme specially designed for malt spirit fermentation attenuation. It have side activity of other supporting amylolytic activities, which converts non-reducing and complex sugars like dextrin’s/oligosaccharides/glucose polymers more efficiently into reducing fermentable form like glucose, than traditional amylo-glycosidase enzymes. This enzyme increases the availability of simple fermentable sugar from dextrin’s produced by starch liquefaction.

Natuferm is an amylolytic preparation which catalyzes on one hand the hydrolysis of the "-1,6 linkages of amylopectin and on the other hand the hydrolysis of the "-1,4 linkages of both amylose and amylopectine by releasing maltose units. To increase the fermentability of wort (apparent attenuation limit) by hydrolysing the alpha-limit-dextrines into maltose units by the combined action of a Limit Dextrinase and a Maltogenic Amylase, Natuferm has been specially design to improve attenuation in high gravity worts as well as to assists in “stuck fermentation”.

Brewclar is a product containing a highly specific fungal endopeptidase enzyme. This enzyme only cleaves in haze sensitive polypeptides at the carboxyl end of the amino acid proline.

NATUCLAR is a purified fining agent consisting of Collagen an optimized blend of polyvinylpropyrrolidone (PVPP) and silica xerogel. It is a single-use product offering a highly effective means of preventing nonbiological haze in beer. The combined use of PVPP and silica gel provides a balanced stabilization of both haze producing constituents, preventing the protein-polyphenol complexes forming.

Natufine Plus is a purified fining agent consisting of Collagen produced from the traditional source, predominantly swim bladders of fish. Natufine Plus is supplied as an easy to dissolve powder yet still maintains the properties of finings prepared over a long period of time. Natufine Plus speeds up and improves beer clarification by accelerating the sedimentation of Hop Recovery, yeast & other insoluble material into a compact layer at the bottom of the storage tank.

Natunutr has been designed to increase fermentation rates especially when high gravity worts are used and when new high-performance mash filters (Meura 2001, Nordon, Landaluce, etc.) are used to obtain these worts. Natunutr is a well-balanced mixture of essential mineral components like zinc, magnesium, manganese, potassium, etc. Also provide vital nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous, etc for better yeast health and viability.. All the components of the mixture are food-grade, 100% natural and they have not been in contact with any solvent.

Natufloc Plus is the blend of naturally occurring brewery approved seaweed materials. Consistency of performance is provided by quality control checks of every batch for wort trub formation. Natufloc Plus is acceptable for use in food by the MAFF document. The active ingredient is carrageenan.

Natufoam SP is a food grade Propylene Glycol Alginate, specially developed and produced as foam stabilizer for beer. It gives to beer more stable, longer-lived, creamier foam.

Natunox is an antioxidant specifically developed for use in beer. It contains Sodium Isoascorbate as an active ingredient, having a very low redox potential and thus effectively removes oxygen form the beer. Beer during storage undergoes gradual alteration as small quantities of dissolved oxygen results in oxidation of polyphenols and proteins causing undesirable flavors, aroma, cloudiness and development of dark red color. Natunox guard the beer from all these changes by effectively removing the dissolved oxygen.
