Rapidase Expression Aroma
Enzyme for fast, early aroma precursor extraction in white and rosé macerations
PURPOSE
Skin contact allows for enhanced aroma intensity and complexity. Rapidase® Expression Aroma allows for targeted extraction of aroma precursors such as thiols contained in grape skins without extracting unwanted compounds such as polyphenols.
Its use maintains sufficient skin integrity not to spoil downstream pressing. It allows for reducing maceration time and potentially replaces more oxidative
mechanical methods.
Composition
Rapidase Expression Aroma is a micro- granulated pectolytic enzyme preparation with
essential side activities.
Rapidase Expression Aroma naturally contains negligible levels of cinnamyl esterase (nFCE) in order to preserve aroma freshness, whichever your yeast choice might be.
Tested and Validated
To offer the best efficiency in application each Rapidase® formulation is developed and tested with the world most renowned wine research institutes and validated in wineries at production scale.
Our technical and sales staff is available to provide you with test results as well as assist you in evaluating the products premium performances in your specific conditions.
