How does the SinoBios enzyme apply to beer industry?
Calorie-conscious consumers can enjoy reduced calorie beer thanks to the use of special enzymes in the brewing process. Major ingredients used in the production of beer include, barley, rice, and other grains. The grains are essential components in the conversion of carbohydrates to alcohol during yeast fermentation. First, simple carbohydrates are converted to alcohol followed by conversion of carbohydrates of increasing complexity, until the desired alcoholcontent is achieved. The remaining carbohydrate remains as a component of the finished product. By using enzymes to transform the complex carbohydrates to simpler sugars, the desired alcohol content can be achieved with a smaller amount of added grain. This results in a beer with fewer carbohydrate calories and ultimately, a lower calorie beer.
