FUMzyme® Sol

dsm-firmenich PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS

Simply detox your grain processing!

FUMzyme® Sol is the first-ever purified enzyme that specifically degrades fumonisins by biotransformation: The side chains of fumonisins are cleaved, resulting in a detoxified form.

FUMzyme® Sol offers significant advantages for grain processors, ensuring cost efficiency, market expansion and improved product quality.

Main Benefits

Reduction of operating costs
By using FUMzyme® Sol, less dilution and segregation are required

Elimination of grain discounting
By using FUMzyme® Sol, there is no need for discounting grains during years of high mycotoxin contamination

Increased utilization of by-products
FUMzyme® Sol enhances the marketability of DDGS and corn gluten by-products. It expands access to markets with strict mycotoxin legal limits and guidance values. By using FUMzyme® Sol, by-products achieve higher quality and less toxicity, as fumonisins (FUM) are reduced during processing.

Fumonisins

Harmful and widespread Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium proliferatum and F. verticillioides, present in almost all commodities worldwide. They are not deactivated during grain processing and produce toxic effects in animals and humans when ingested. In addition, fumonisin contamination can lead to higher production costs and lower profits for producers.

Mode of action

FUMzyme® Sol is the first-ever purified enzyme that specifically degrades fumonisins by biotransformation: The side chains of fumonisins are cleaved, resulting in a detoxified form.

Turning science into sustainable solutions

  1. Using FUMzyme® Sol has no negative effects on the grain processing and does not lead to a decrease in yield (of main products and by-products).
  2. The enzyme does not affect the quality of your final products.
  3. FUMzyme® Sol makes the resulting products (DDGS, corn gluten) better suitable for animal consumption with regard to FUM.
