Premium Ethanol
Premium Ethanol also know as Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) or Premium Alcohol, is the purest version of any alcohol. It undergoes additional rectification for the achievement of excellent organoleptic properties. It has extremely neutral aroma and taste, which makes it appropriate for the production of premium vodka and other beverages with high alcohol content. Its purity is due to the sevenfold distillation it undergoes. It is organoleptically neutral – it has no taste, aroma or smell, which makes it appropriate for the production of premium spirits and other beverages like Vodka and Gin with high alcohol content. Its purity is due to the sevenfold distillation it undergoes.
ENA can also be used for a variety of applications within the food and beverage industry without limited to the cosmetics and beauty industry, pharmaceutical industry and medical industry. Currently the most popular application has been to make hand sanitizer.
We constantly maintain the high-quality of our ethanol through monitoring and testing the organoleptic properties of each batch from packing, transporting to delivery and use. We have the best and most accurate technologists in the industry that are designed to produce and maintain the high-quality ethanol standards for our valued customers around the world.
Our Extra Neutral Alcohols (ENA) are made from the fermentation of our high-quality Cassava produced by our own integrated Cassava developed under the EU quality standards that meet all our global customers’ needs in the food and beverage industry, and other industries like pharmaceutical, medical, health and beauty, using yeast. After proper fermentation, it is then distilled up to seven times to produce a final product of alcohol that is both colourless and odourless with a purity of up to 99.9%.
Select the best and highest-quality Cassava during this step, for quality fermenting and distilling. The most popular grains used for the production of Extra Neutral Alcohols are corn, rye, wheat, barley, and rice, but in our we are using cassava, a raw material free gluten to obtain the best and high-quality ethanol.
Once the High-Quality Cassava is chosen (through our advanced sorting, scanning technologies), we can then proceed with the fermentation, which is a very common process in the alcohol industry. It refers to the biological process of the Cassava in which sugar in the Cassava is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The catalyst in this process is yeast, used to break down the sugars and convert them into alcohol and other byproducts.
the fermented Cassava is diluted with demineralized water produced and monitored in our plant to remove any impurities in the mixture. Once the alcohol is rectified to 96% v/v, the mixture is redistilled. The conversion of rectified alcohol into extra neutral alcohol usually happens at a rate of 70 to 80%. This means that with every litre of rectified alcohol that is processed, only 0.7 to 0.8 litres of ENA are produced and available. We offer ENA with a minimum of 96.4% and maximum of 99.9%.

High-quality neutral ethanol is a highly pure, clear, and odourless alcohol used across food, beverage, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, serving as a key ingredient in spirits, a solvent in cosmetics, a base for medications, and a sanitizing agent, as well as for various technical applications like paints and industrial cleaning products. Its neutral, flavourless profile makes it an ideal carrier for flavours, perfumes, and active ingredients, while its high purity ensures safety and efficacy in sensitive applications. As provided in the table Premium Ethanol or Extra Neutral Ethanol (ENA) or Pure Ethanol is generally used as a renewable and sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels in the biofuel and energy sectors.

Ethanol is generally subject to excise duty and its shipments are strictly controlled by the relevant authorities. The amount of the excise duty depends on each European importer's country. European customer must be licensed to receive ethanol with deferred duty payment and can be exempt from excise duty if the denaturant is approved by the relevant authorities.
