Liquefaction
Breaking Down Starch, Building Efficiency
Liquefaction is the first step in ethanol production, where heat and alpha-amylase enzymes transform starch into a fluid slurry. By lowering viscosity, this stage prepares the mash for efficient sugar conversion in saccharification.
CTE Global helps plants get more out of liquefaction with enzyme solutions and technical expertise that set the stage for higher yield and smoother operations.
CTE Global Advantage:
- Specialized alpha-amylase blends that reduce viscosity quickly and consistently
- Improved starch breakdown for better sugar conversion
- Nutrient support for yeast health and fermentation performance
- Enhanced corn oil recovery for added plant revenue

Fermentation & Saccharification
Unlocking Sugars, Fueling Fermentation
Saccharification uses glucoamylase enzymes to convert starch fragments into simple sugars. Yeast then transforms those sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide during fermentation.
CTE Global ensures your saccharification and fermentation stages run at peak performance, turning every bushel into more fuel.
CTE Global Advantage:
- High-performance glucoamylase and complementary enzyme blends
- Maximized starch-to-sugar conversion for higher ethanol yield
- Nutrients and process support that promote healthy yeast activity
- Improved fermentation kinetics and overall process consistency
