  • Publication number: 20220002690
    Abstract: Provided are improved methods for treating wheat flour with lipase. Further provided are methods for separating wheat flour to provide a gluten fraction, a starch fraction and a fibre fraction where the wheat flour is treated with a selected lipase. Polypeptides having lipase activity, nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20210269833
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes for producing fermentation products from starch-containing material, wherein a triacylglyceride lipase (e.g., a thermostable triacylglyceride lipase) is present and/or added during liquefaction, pre-saccharification, saccharification, fermentation, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, or any combination thereof, to increase enzymatically accessible starch, for example by reducing starch retrogradation, and/or increase fermentation product yield, such as ethanol yield. The disclosure also relates to the use of a triacylglyceride lipase in processes of the disclosure, for example, to increase enzymatically accessible starch and/or fermentation product yield, such as ethanol yield.
