Novonesis Attenuzyme® Prime is a cost-effective solution for highly attenuated beers. It allows you to achieve a very high real degree of fermentation (RDF).
Attenuzyme® Prime is the most robust and effective attenuation solution. It is a high-performing blend of glucoamylase and pullulanase that makes it possible to meet high attenuation targets within the shortest processing time. It is taking advantage of the synergy between these two enzyme activities during the hydrolysis of amylopectin.
In this product the key enzyme activity is provided by glucoamylase that hydrolyzes (1,4)- and (1,6)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages at the non-reducing ends of polysaccharides pullulanase that hydrolyzes (1,6)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in pullulan, amylopectin and glycogen

Benefits:
Accelerate fermentation
By releasing more fermentable sugars in the brewhouse, this product supports the need to accelerate your fermentation times.
Achieve desired attenuation
This product delivers predictable and targeted real degree of fermentation (RDF). It helps you to control the percentage of fermentable sugars you derive from starch. It allows you to increase fermentable sugars or maintain them at a specific level so you can achieve your desired attenuation.
Increase brewhouse capacity
This fast-acting product shortens mashing times. That allows you to increase brewhouse capacity while saving time and energy.
For ultra-light beers
With the synergistic activity in this enzyme blend you can hit high attenuation targets in short reaction times. That allows you to produce ultra-light beers.

Attenuzyme® Prime- Product Data Sheet
How glucoamylase-pullulanase enzyme blends help control attenuation in brewing
Glucoamylases break down the α-1,4-glucosidic bonds in amylase and amylopectin. Pullulanases break down α-1,6-glucosidic bonds in amylopectin. These two enzymes work synergistically to quickly hydrolyze amylopectin and amylose. That allows brewers to achieve the high attenuation targets and short reaction times ultra-light beers need.
Glucoamylases hydrolyze starch. They break α-1,4-glucosidic linkages at the non-reducing ends of amylase and amylopectin. Pullulanases also hydrolyze starch, but they're de-branching enzymes. They break down α-1,6-glucosidic bonds in amylopectin.
Glucoamylases are typically brewers' first choice when producing highly attenuated beers. Consumers know these as light or low-calorie beers.
Combined with pullulanases, glucoamylases speed up starch breakdown even more. That's why brewers use this synergistic enzyme blend in ultra-light beer production. It allows them to reach attenuation targets in even shorter conversion times.

Safety, handling and storage
Recommended storage: 0-10 °C (32-50 °F)
Packaging must be kept intact, dry, and away from sunlight. Please follow the recommendations and use the product before the best-before date to avoid the need for a higher dosage.
Best before: You will find the best-before date in the certificate of analysis or on the product label. The product gives optimal performance when stored as recommended and used prior to the best-before date. The product can be transported at ambient temperature. Following delivery, the product should be stored as recommended.
This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.
Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.
Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:
- The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.
- Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing
- In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection
- IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing
- If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or a doctor
- Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container
- Dispose of contents/containers in accordance with local regulations
