Producers of high-quality neutral alcohol and DDGS
AlcoNCP is a leading producer of various grades of neutral alcohol and DDGS feed for the South African and International beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and livestock feed markets. Our product offering - fermented from sustainable locally grown maize - includes a range of neutral ethanol products and Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) - a protein-rich livestock feed.
How do we Produce our ethanol and DDGS from maize?
The maize is milled, mashed in the presence of enzymes to convert the starch component of maize to sugar which is then fermented to produce a “beer”. The beer is distilled through a series of specialized distillation columns to yield a final neutral alcohol of 96.4% strength and exceptional quality. The remaining stillage is processed via evaporation, decantation and drying to produce a high protein animal feed, Protimaize DDGS.
