Join the Novozymes team, lead by your superhero, Alphie (the alpha-amylase) through an adventure in ethanol production. Together with his friends, Alphie turns corn into ethanol by chomping down as much starch as possible, converting the starches and dextrins to sugar and then devouring all the sugars and producing ethanol and carbon dioxide. Careful though, you have to masterfully control your pH and temperature and avoid doughballs, fusels and bacteria or your yields will suffer! Challenge yourself as production conditions become more challenging - can you get the same yields in the Spring Time as during Summer Heat?
What a cool app! This is a super fun way to learn about ethanol production and the process of breaking down starch with enzymes and fermentation!
My kids and I learned a lot and they didn't even realize the game was educational ?. The characters are super cute and my 6 year old loved gathering up all Alphie's friends.
Fantastic way to help educate individuals on the corn to ethanol process.
