  • Methods of fermenting mixtures that include di- and tri-saccharides formed at low temperature using a maltophilic yeast
    Patent number: 11078501
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are materials and methods for the production of high concentrations of ethanol from plant starch material broken down into disaccharide and trisaccharide sugars such as maltose, isomaltose, and maltotriose from uncooked starch. Herein is also described use of a yeast strain capable of fermenting high maltose syrups into ethanol without the need to convert disaccharides or trisaccharides into glucose using exogenous glucoamylases.
    Type: Grant
