Bilact50 – Virginiamycin 50% is a high-performance antimicrobial fermentation aid specially developed for the ethanol industry to control harmful gram-positive bacterial contamination during grain and molasses fermentation processes. Uncontrolled bacterial growth in fermenters competes with yeast for nutrients and sugars, leading to reduced alcohol yield, poor fermentation efficiency, increased acidity, and process instability.
Bilact50 effectively suppresses lactic acid–producing bacteria such as Lactobacillus species, helping maintain healthy yeast activity and ensuring smooth, consistent fermentation performance. Its advanced formulation supports improved ethanol recovery, better sugar conversion, reduced fermentation losses, and enhanced plant productivity.
Suitable for both grain-based and molasses-based distilleries, Bilact50 is widely used to optimize fermentation efficiency, improve process consistency, and minimize downtime caused by microbial contamination. The product is easy to disperse, highly effective at low inclusion levels, and compatible with standard industrial fermentation systems.
