Germany’s AB Enzymes has developed a new enzyme product in its Rohalase line to enable higher yield of vegetable oil processing with a reduced need for chemicals - an innovation the company says will save energy and costs. The company says that the product, applied to canola, sunflower or soy seeds, results in higher yields the enzyme is helps facilitates a reduction in the amount of oil in the press cake and lower temperature at the press head - translating into reduced energy costs. In addition to marketing the ingredient for the food industry, the company believes that the development will hold benefits for biofuel production. “In addition to oil based fuels, this technology is ideally suited for biomass to ethanol conversion,” said CEO Aryan Moelker. AB’s other Rohalase products are aimed at wheat processing, including an enzyme called Rohalase SEP, for the degradation of viscosity-forming polysaccharides such as pentosanes and glucanes, which have a negative effect in wheat starch processing.
