New innovative enzyme boosts taste, efficiency, and sustainability of no- and low-alcohol beer production. 

IFF(NYSE:IFF) announces the launch of DIAZYME ®NOLO, a groundbreaking enzyme solution designed to enhance the taste, efficiency, and production capacity of no- and low-alcohol (NOLO) beverages without requiring costly capital investments. This innovation is set to meet the surging demand for NOLO beverages.

“DIAZYME ® NOLO revolutionizes NOLO beer production by enhancing taste and efficiency without the high energy costs of traditional methods,” said Dr. Sven Schönenberg, senior global group application manager for Brewing and master brewer at IFF. “This new enzyme is a game-changer for brewers, tackling quality, efficiency and sustainability challenges head-on.” 

As consumers increasingly adopt healthier lifestyles, the demand for NOLO beer has soared. Over the past year, the NOLO beer category has grown by 6.5 percent, making it the fastest-growing industry segment.[1] Additionally, there is a rising consumer preference for environmentally responsible products. With DIAZYME® NOLO, IFF is poised to help brewers capitalize on these trends by delivering superior taste and mouthfeel in NOLO beers while reducing operational costs and grist-associated environmental impacts, such as energy consumption. 

Boosting NOLO beer quality and efficiency 

DIAZYME® NOLO works by converting fermentable maltose into non-fermentable isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMOs), enhancing mouthfeel without contributing to alcohol production. This conversion process results in a lower real degree of fermentation (RDF), allowing brewers to produce NOLO beverages that offer a full-bodied mouthfeel and enhanced flavor profiles, delivering the experience of full-strength beers. 

By lowering the alcohol content, DIAZYME® NOLO reduces the energy required for evaporation in the dealcoholization process. The higher unfermentable extract achieved with this enzyme allows up to 60 percent higher throughput if the beer is de-brewed to the same extract specification. Alternatively, brewers can maintain their current production volume while leveraging DIAZYME® NOLO’s efficiency to save up to 37 percent of grist usage. This benefit supports breweries on their sustainability journey by reducing the quantity of grist used per hectoliter of beer, reducing grist-associated environmental impacts by up to 37 percent. 

“The NOLO market is booming as more consumers seek to reduce their alcohol intake without sacrificing taste and quality,” said Karine Dedman, global marketing manager for Brewing at IFF. “DIAZYME® NOLO enhances the consumer experience while also empowering breweries to operate more sustainably and cost-effectively. It’s a win-win-win for people, planet and producers.” 

DIAZYME® NOLO integrates seamlessly into existing brewing processes and can be combined with current methods used to produce NOLO beers, reducing the need for costly new equipment. This ease of adoption provides an attractive solution for brewers looking to expand their NOLO offerings without significant upfront investment.
