ENZYMATIC PREPARATION FOR MACERATION OF WHITE WINES
During skin contact, Safizym® Pres helps the degradation of pectins that are water-friendly compounds. By releasing more free-run juice, this hydrolysis reduces the delay of the skin contact thus decreasing the oxidation risks and reinforcing the organoleptic characters of the must.
This operation done prior to the pressing strongly helps the settling and the clarification of the must. Enzymatic preparation produced by a selected Aspergillus niger strain.
Safizym® Pres technical features
Safizym® Pres optimizes your productivity (skin contact & pressing cycle delays, tank occupation time, filtration) and improves the quality of the finished product.
Activity conditions
- Pectinases*: Endo polygalacturonase (> 1050 PG/g), pectin methyl esterase (> 210 PE/g) & pectin lyase (> 30 PL/g)
- Active under oenological conditions (pH, SO2)
- Active at low temperature (> 8°C)
- Active at high temperature (< 60°C)
(*): method available on demand.
Effects
Optimized pressing cycles:
- Enables pectin degradation
- Shortens the depectinization cycle thus accelerating clarification
- Optimizes pressing cycles and increases the yield on free-run juice and/or the total yield.
- Decreases skin contact time
Improvement of wine organoleptic quality:
-
- Facilitates aroma extraction and enhances the varietal characters of musts (terpenic type aromas)
- No undesirable secondary activities
Usage
Dilute the wanted dose in 10 times its own weight of water or must. This solution should not be stored more than a few hours. Incorporate the whole volume in the must that needs to be depectinized at the beginning of the tank filling. This supply will be homogenized during a pumping over or using micro oxygenation.
