Product Performance Evaluation

Product Performance Evaluation is FermAxiom's independent assessment of an ingredient,
enzyme, yeast, or additive under real plant conditions — quantifying its true impact on yield,
efficiency, and cost. Trials are designed and analyzed by the R&D Analytics Group and tied to
no producer, distributor, or product, so the findings are yours and yours alone.

Evaluation Scope

  • Controlled trial design for the product under evaluation
  • Research & laboratory scale-down verification
  • Side-by-side benchmarking against current practice
  • Vendor-independent — tied to no producer or product

What You Receive

  • Independent trial results verification
  • Statistical analysis of yield & efficiency impact
  • Quantified cost-benefit determination
  • Clear, defensible go / no-go findings

Outcomes

  • Confident, evidence-based product decisions
  • Quantified impact on yield and cost per gallon
  • Reduced risk from unproven supplier claims
  • An objective basis for supplier negotiations
Product Performance Evaluation – Scope & Tools (DNN)
Product Performance EvaluationINDEPENDENT · VENDOR-NEUTRAL

FermAxiom independently benchmarks new yeast strains, enzymes, and biochemical & chemical ingredients under real bioprocess conditions — quantifying true impact on yield, efficiency, and cost. Trials are designed and analyzed in-house, tied to no producer or product.

Any input that touches the bioprocess, assessed under real plant conditions.

  • New yeast strains (ADY, cream, propagated)
  • Enzymes — α-amylase, glucoamylase, protease
  • Biochemical & chemical ingredients
  • Nutrients, antimicrobials & processing aids

Controlled, statistically grounded trials that isolate true product effect.

  • Controlled side-by-side trial design
  • Research & laboratory scale-down verification
  • Matched-condition benchmarking
  • Statistical analysis of the response

Candidate versus incumbent under identical conditions.

  • Yield, efficiency & kinetics deltas
  • Propagation and fermentation performance
  • Co-product and downstream impact
  • Quantified cost-benefit determination

Findings you can defend — tied to no producer or product.

  • Vendor-neutral, fully independent
  • Independent trial results verification
  • Clear, defensible go / no-go findings
  • An objective basis for supplier decisions
FermAxiom Analytical ToolsetCALCULATORS & SIMULATORS

Every evaluation is powered by FermAxiom's own suite of bioprocess calculators and simulators — the same electronic tools used across our industrial engagements.

Yeast Cell Counting Calculators Automated microscopic image analysis — cell concentration, viability and dead-cell quantification, budding and clump classification, with hemocytometer-aware self-calibration.
Pitching & Inoculum Calculators Target pitch cell density and seed-train sizing, with HDYC / ADY / CmY conversions across propagation stages.
Yeast Growth Kinetics Modeling Logistic, exponential, and Gompertz fits with Monod-parameter estimation from time-course data, and inoculum back-calculation to a target density.
Medium Quantification Calculators Propagation and fermentation medium design — chemical, nutrient, and elemental balance across an 11-feedstock library.
Fermentation Kinetics Simulator RK4 time-course ODE model of SSF: Monod kinetics, ethanol inhibition, cell death, enzymatic starch hydrolysis, CO₂/pH coupling, and glycerol — calibrated to your plant data.
Ethanol Yield Calculator Feedstock-to-ethanol stoichiometric sizing with two-stage efficiency, co-product accounting, and economics & sustainability outputs.

Tools run in-browser as standalone applications and are calibrated to your plant's data.
