Biopectinase – 100g

Description

Biopectinase is a pectolytic enzyme preparation with additional arabinase activities, derived from a selected strain of Aspergillus niger. It is ideal for use in the clarification of fruit beers, fruit juice and wine. It can simply be added into the fruit or juice when adding these into the beer.

DOSE RATES

Recommended dose rates for Biopectinase are generally between 40 – 150 ppm. Please note this should be optimised to suit your particular application.

Recommended Usage for Fruit Beers : 0.5 to 1 ml per Kg of fruit.

PHYSICAL FORM

A slightly viscous, amber free flowing liquid, with a characteristic sweet smell.

APPLICATION

Biopectinase is a balanced complex of enzyme activities which hydrolyse pectic substances leading to depectinisation and clarification of juice.

The use of Biopectinase  offers the following advantages:
– treatment of the fruit will lead to rapid processing with maximum yield of both free run and total juice.
– depectinisation of juice. This results in more rapid floc formation while the lowered viscosity facilitates subsequent clarification and/or filtration.
– rapid clarification leading to reduced flavour damage from oxidation or premature fermentation.
– juice concentrates with higher Brix levels are attainable due to reduced viscosities.
