Avantec® Producers need a low-viscosity

corn mash to ensure good flow

and smooth operations

Olexa®

Corn oil has become an increas-

ingly important revenue stream

for ethanol producers

Spirizyme® Achieve Producers want to use all the

starch in the corn, but until now

some starch has been trapped

in the corn fiber

Avantec's benefits includeensuring a free-flowingliquid mash

Olexa works by freeingup oil bound inthe corn germ

MAKING THE ETHANOL INDUSTRY MORE EFFICIENTThe ethanol industry is still youngand there are many ways toimprove efficiency. Now, threeenzymes from Novozymes furtheradvance the industry.

The industry is just getting started

An average US ethanol plant has

become much more efficient over

the last decade, significantly

improving its environmental

footprint
