biomass enzymes to convert c5 and c6 sugars

Accellerase® Biomass Enzymes to Unlock C5 & C6 Sugars

Accellerase® offers varoius enzyme mixtures for your specific configuration.

Our biomass enzyme solutions convert pretreated biomass into sugars for the production of renewable fuels and chemicals. When paired with a pretreatment, theses enzymes break down the chemical bonds in lignocellulosic material to produce C5 and C6 sugars that can be fermented to produce ethanol or processed to produce bioplastics or other high-value chemicals.

DuPont develops cellulase mixtures and accessory enzymes that fit the needs of your unique process configuration. Explore the technology leaders of specific Accellerase® enzyme mixtures below:

Technology scale-up in this industry requires as much certainty as possible. DuPont offers two enzyme complexes ready for commercial testing and scale up:

Accellerase® TRIO™
Unique enzyme mixture unlocks 70-90% of available sugars in biomass

Accellerase® 1500
Cellulase enzyme mixture for converting biomass to glucan and other sugars

KEY FEATURES:

To provide high yields with the certainty you expect from DuPont, Accellerase® enzymes share several key features:

Feedstock flexible. Our enzymes unlock sugars from a range of lignocellulosic materials including wheat straw, corn stover, sugarcane bagasse, switch grass, paper pulp and dozens more.

Pre-treatment adaptable. Accellerase® works with a variety of pretreatment technologies and configurations including dilute acid, ammonia fiber expansion, steam explosion and combined processes.

Inhibitor tolerant. Our enzymes maintain robust performance throughout an extended saccharification process.
