The company’s grain processing products comprise Fuelzyme alpha-amylase, an enzyme for starch liquefaction in the production of fuel ethanol and other industrial-use alcohols; DELTAZYM GA L-E5, a high-activity glucoamylase for the conversion of starch to sugars in fuel ethanol production; and Xylathin xylanase, an enzyme that enhances the efficiency of fuel ethanol production from cereal grains. Its oilfield services products include Pyrolase cellulase and Pyrolase HT cellulase, which are enzymes that break carbohydrates in the fluids used in oil and gas well operations; and Eradicake alpha-amylase enzyme, which breaks down starch. The company’s other industrial processes products comprise Cottonase pectate lyase, a textile processing enzyme for cotton; and Luminase PB-100 xylanase, which enhances the reactivity of pulp fiber to bleaching chemicals. It also has enzyme product candidates in various stages of development for animal health and nutrition, grain and starch processing, and oilfield services markets.
