Rapidase Extra Press
Enzyme for fast, efficient pressing of grapes
PURPOSE
Rapidase® Extra Press releases juice from white grapes by weakening grape skins and reducing pectin water retention capacity.
Its use increases juice yields and allows for softer and shorter pressing cycles, thus preserving grape must from oxidation.
Composition
Rapidase Extra Press is a liquid pectolytic enzyme preparation with essential side activities to facilitate pressing and must clarification. Rapidase Extra Press naturally contains negligible levels of cinnamyl esterase (nFCE) in order to preserve aroma freshness whichever your yeast choice might be.
Rapidase Extra Press enables also to reduce the Eco or Carbon footprint of the winemaking process thanks to energy savings.
