Rapidase Fast Color
Enzyme for fast color and polyphenol extraction in short maceration processes
Purpose
Modern winemaking and production constraints make it often necessary to produce quality red wines within a short processing time.
Rapidase® Fast Color has been designed specifically to allow a maximal extraction of colour and polyphenols during the short maceration processes of red grapes. The subsequent steps of draining, pressing and clarification are also facilitated.

Composition
Rapidase Fast Color is a liquid pectolytic enzyme preparation with a wide range of pectinase and essential cellulase and hemicellulase activities, specifically suited for the weakening of grape skin cell walls and allowing a faster polyphenol release during a short maceration time of red grapes.
Rapidase Fast Color naturally contains negligible levels of cinnamyl esterase (nFCE) and anthocyanase activity.
