A process for producing ethanol from lactose containing substrates, comprising simultaneously saccharifying the substrate to produce monosaccharide and fermenting the monosaccharide to produce ethanol at a pH from 3.5-5.5, using a fermenting organism, wherein saccharification is carried out in the presence of a lactase, and wherein the fermenting organism is asp., and the ratio between the incubation time required for obtaining at least 90% hydrolysis of the lactose present in the substrate (t) and the total fermentation time (t) is in the range of 0.1 to 1, and thesp. is added in amounts that will result in an ethanol yield of at least 70% w/w of the theoretical ethanol yield from lactose by the end of fermentation.

The present invention relates to xylanase variants, comprising an alteration at least at one position corresponding to position 87 of the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 3, wherein the variant has xylanase activity and has increased xylanase inhibitor tolerance compared to the xylanase of SEQ ID NO: 3; and i) wherein the variant has at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99%, but less than 100% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 3; or ii) wherein the number of alterations is 1-20, e.g., 1-10 such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 alterations. The present invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the variants; nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides; and methods of using the variants.

Process of producing a starch hydrolysate

The present invention relates to a process for enzymatic hydrolysis of arabinoxylan, and an enzyme composition suitable for use in such a process.

Hydrolysis of arabinoxylan

A process for producing a starch comprises treating a feed starch that comprises amylopectin with glucanotransferase to produce a chain-extended starch, and treating the chain-extended starch with a debranching enzyme to produce a starch product that comprises amylose fragments. At least about 38% by weight of the amylose fragments have a degree of polymerization (DP) of at least about 35.

Production of crystalline short chain amylose

The invention relates to a variant of a parent Fungamyl-like fungal alpha-amylase, which exhibits improved thermal stability at acidic pH suitable for, e.g., starch processes.

Fungamyl-like alpha-amylase variants

The present invention relates to polypeptides having alpha-amylase activity and polynucleotides having a nucleotide sequence which encodes for the polypeptides. The invention also relates to a polypeptide having carbohydrate-binding affinity and polynucleotides having a nucleotide sequence which encodes for the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the nucleic acid constructs as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides.
