Press release

New enzymatic solution delivers robust and effective colloidal stability and supports breweries in improving their sustainability journey.

NEW YORK – Apr. 11, 2023 – IFF today announced the launch of its new enzymatic solution that allows breweries to maintain the clarity of beer with a smarter, simplified process. By using BCLEAR™, breweries can achieve a more cost efficient and robust stabilization process, compared to other enzymatic solutions. When switching to BCLEAR™ from traditional methods of stabilization, breweries can simplify the beer making process, whilst increasing their energy and water savings. Additionally, unlike non-enzymatic solutions, BCLEAR™ improves foam stability in the beer and reduces gluten content.

“We’re bringing new expertise in colloidal stabilization,” said Jens Magnus Eiken, Master Brewer and global product manager for Brewing & Distilling enzymes at IFF. “BCLEAR™ is a strong performing solution that is smarter, simpler, more efficient and sustainable. Now, brewers can have greater confidence when optimizing their beer-making process.”

At a time when consumers are looking for brands they can trust to do the right thing for the environment¹, breweries strive to find ways to reduce their environmental footprint of production without sacrificing product quality.

Compared to other enzymatic solutions on the market, BCLEAR™ provides more efficient haze reduction leading to cost-in-use savings, as demonstrated by extensive internal and customer trials. BCLEAR™ delivers a more robust process thanks to its high efficiency, allowing for dosage optimization. Once optimum dosage for stabilization is reached, BCLEAR™ delivers a very consistent response, allowing brewers to get it right the first time, achieving quality targets and reducing risks of loss or rework.

“Due to minimal handling, BCLEAR™ is easier to use in production, compared to non-enzymatic solutions; it does not affect the beer taste, improves foam stability, while enabling the production of low-gluten beer,” said Sven Schönenberg, Ph.D., Master Brewer and global application group manager for Brewing & Distilling enzymes at IFF. “The solution helps breweries reach their gluten target faster, shortening the beer release time and reducing process complexity, compared to current enzymatic solutions. Choices become easy when you can see the benefits right in front of you and BCLEAR™ is smarter, simpler, more efficient, and more sustainable.”
