Fermbox Bio launches EN3ZYME enzyme cocktail for 2G ethanol production

In India, Fermbox Bio has launched EN3ZYME, a cutting-edge enzyme cocktail designed to enhance both the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of transforming pre-treated agri-based residues into fermentable, cellulosic sugars. These sugars pave the way to produce second-generation (2G) ethanol and serve as an alternative carbon source in precision fermentation to produce bio-ingredients and biomaterials, such as colors, dyes, flavors, fragrances, lipids, and novel food proteins, fostering a circular economy.

This innovation directly addresses the food vs. fuel challenge associated with first-generation (1G) ethanol by hydrolyzing agricultural residues into a viable alternative carbon source. EN3ZYME is designed to hydrolyze diverse feedstock residues such as bagasse, cotton stalks, corn stover, and other cellulose-rich materials. The technology and its applications support sustainable processes and resource optimization, aligning with global environmental goals.
