Key Benefits Description Safe handling

  • Increase ethanol yield 2% vs. the industry’s leading yeast*

    Operating in a wide variety of fermentation times, Innova® Element excels in fermentations >54 hours and is a drop-in solution capable of converting the most sugar to ethanol versus all other GM yeasts. *Innova® Force

  • Power through compounding fermentation challenges caused by high temperatures and organic acid excursions without sacrificing yield

    Gain peace of mind knowing Innova® Element can handle temperature excursions, up to 36⁰C/98⁰F, and 0.6% lactic acid, reducing variability and process upsets.

  • Expand throughput by fermenting high dry solids

    Developed to withstand the rigor of heavy-duty, hard-running plants, Innova® Element can ferment up to 36% dry solids while tolerating high ethanol titers >15% w/v in fermentation.

  • Improve DDGS quality with lower glycerol

    Rebalancing yeast energy, Innova® Element reduces glycerol production by up to 20%, contributing to ethanol increases and improving DDGS quality.

  • May reduce your need for yeast nutritional supplements

    While many yeast use urea and yeast food to support fermentation, Innova® Element may significantly reduce the need for urea and eliminate the need for yeast food.

Innova® Element is a genetically modified yeast designed for fermentation processes between 54 and 65 hours. It delivers industry-leading yields and robustness so you can confidently run your plant. Innova® Element produces a high-quality GA with advanced de-branching activity and a fungal alpha-amylase to deliver the lowest residual starch.  

This product contains microbials. While microbial products are safe to use in consumer applications, they must be handled correctly in production environments to ensure that workers do not inhale organic dust and bioaerosols.

Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:

  • Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray
  • Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing
  • In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection
  • IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing
  • Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container
  • Dispose of contents/containers in accordance with local regulations

 

For more safety information, please download the manual for Safe-handling of microbial products.
