Innovative yeast biosolution promises up to 3% higher ethanol yield, faster fermentation, and robust performance under stress.
Novonesis announced the launch of Innova® Delta, a next-generation yeast biosolution set to transform ethanol production in India’s rapidly growing biofuels sector.
Innova® Delta is designed for robust performance under challenging fermentation conditions, helping plants achieve higher ethanol yields through its powerhouse technology. This latest non-GMO yeast innovation enables plants to achieve operational performance on par with global peers using advanced GM yeasts.
Innova® Delta delivers:
-Up to 3% higher ethanol yields by minimizing operational upsets and producing more with less
-Exceptionally faster kinetics, reducing fermentation time by up to 5 hours and unlocking additional revenue potential
-Unmatched reliability, with tolerance to high temperatures (up to 38°C), organic acids (0.6% lactic, 0.2% acetic), and ethanol concentrations (up to 16% w/v)
Producers and industry stakeholders are invited to learn more at an upcoming webinar on November 21, 2025, featuring Innova® Delta: Register here.
