DEFOAMER
A defoamer, or anti-foaming agent, is a chemical additive that reduces and hinders the formation of foam in industrial process liquids by reducing surface tension and destabilizing foam bubbles. The terms anti-foam agent and defoamer are often used interchangeably (Mostly being used in sugar-based bioethanol manufacturing).
ANTI-BACTERIA
Anti-bacterial agents are commonly use to submerge in the fermentation industry to control bacterial growth during the fermentation process.
ENZYME
Enzymes are utilized to turn sugars and starches into ethanol during fermentation. The two main enzymes needed in the manufacture of bioethanol are glucoamylases and amylases. To begin with, alpha amylases are enzymes that break down complex carbohydrates such as starches into simpler sugars such as glucose and maltose in the liquefaction stage. Next, glucoamylases are enzymes that break down complex sugars, such as maltose and glucose, into simple sugars that can be easily fermented by yeast in the saccharification stage (Mostly being used in sugar crop-based bioethanol manufacturing).
