Rapidase Flotation
Enzyme for fast, efficient grape must flotation
PURPOSE
Rapidase® Flotation reduces flotation time. Its use enables rapid viscosity decrease, allowing for faster migration of solid particles.
Rapidase Flotation promotes more compact foam by facilitating haze particles agglomeration.
Composition
Rapidase Flotation is a liquid pectolytic enzyme preparation that 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.
Instructions for use and dosage
- Add as early as possible at the crusher, in the press or in the must after pressing.
- Dilute 10 times prior to addition.
- Time necessary for a negative pectin test will determine sufficient contact time.
- Bentonite or silica gel should only be used as a flotation aid after allowing for sufficient depectinization time.
