Factors Affecting the Rate of Fermentation

Inhibitors present in molasses. Fermentable to non fermentable solids concentration in raw molasses. Bacterial contamination in fermented wash. Sugar concentration in fermented wash Ethanol concentration in fermented wash Temperature of fermenters Agitation in fermenters Yeast strain

Inhibitors Present in raw Molasses

Organic volatile acids Caramel content in molasses Gums, resins and waxes F/N ratio < 0.9 Bacterial contamination

Major Sources of Bacterial Contamination

molasses air and water dead pockets Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc & L. fermentum Acetobactor > 500 different bacteria

How do bacteria affect Fermentation Efficiency?

Lactobacillus

causes serious yeast flocculation problems acid production inhibits yeast metabolism decreases alcoholic yield

L. fermentum

yeast viability strongly reduced sluggish alcoholic fermentation

How do bacteria affect Fermentation Efficiency? (contd.)

Leuconostoc mesenteroides

sensitive to alcohol does not persist for long period

Acetobacter

Inhibits alcohol formation Spoils alcohol quality

Infection Control

only two methods exist:

antibiotics chlorine

dioxide

chlorine dioxide:
cannot

be used > 50 ppm expensive

antibiotics:
highly

effective cheaper

How AlcoGain Works

controls bacterial contamination minimizes by-product formation faster conversion of sugars to alcohol greater conversion of sugars to alcohol increases rate of yeast metabolism healthy active yeast growth increase in productivity and spirit quality

General

Product Specifications

Solid / Liquid form

Storage and Shelf Life

3-4 months in cool place

8.5 kg (solid form) / 35 L per month per 30 KLPD distillery May vary as per distillery performance parameters Available in 35 L jerry can or Powder form

Dosage

Packing

Economics

Depends upon Fermentation Efficiency (FE) Lower the FE, better the result Max. increase observed 0.8 % (v/v) in wash Cost per month = one days benefit (min.) Benefits vary from plant to plant

Safety

Handle with care Only authorized personnel to handle Should not be tasted or smelled Store in a safe place Keep the can tightly closed Keep in a cool place
