Enzymatic sugarcane milling

Sugarcane milling that leaves less behind

Unlock more value from every tonne of cane with enzymatic sugarcane extraction.

More value is still trapped in your bagasse

Every tonne of cane carries value. But extracting more of that value is becoming increasingly difficult.

Mechanical extraction is already operating close to its technical limits. Yet sugar and moisture remain trapped in bagasse. This is value that never reaches the juice stream or contributes fully to energy generation.

Further improvements through mechanical optimization alone are increasingly difficult to achieve, while major equipment investments come at a cost.

What if you could leave less sugar behind?

Go beyond mechanical extraction

With Novonesis Zycane™, you can unlock more value from the same cane.

Zycane™ is a proven, drop-in enzymatic solution that acts on the sugarcane fiber structure, loosening the fiber matrix that traps sucrose and water inside the bagasse.

By releasing more sucrose and water, Zycane™ helps improve extraction efficiency beyond what mechanical extraction alone can achieve, without changing your existing mill setup.
