Composition
Rapidase VinoFast is a liquid enzyme preparation with pectolytic activities such as polygalacturonase, α-N-arabinofuranosidase and cellulase, together with β-glucanase, to facilitate wine clarification by reducing the time and amount of adjuvants needed.
Rapidase VinoFast also facilitates filtration by reducing wine clogging issues while safeguarding quality.
When grapes are heavily affected by Botrytis cinerea (>30% rotten), Rapidase VinoFast should be used in wine together with Rapidase GlucanFree to boost β-glucan hydrolysis.
Speeding up the filtration step and decreasing filter clogging, Rapidase VinoFast enables also to reduce the Eco or Carbon footprint of the winemaking process thanks to water and energy savings.
Rapidase VinoFast naturally contains negligible amounts of cinnamyl esterase (nFCE).
Usage
Instructions for use and dosage
- Suitable for any type of wine: white, rosé, red. It can also be used during alcoholic fermentation.
- Add to the wine and mix well after alcoholic fermentation rack off, before clarification or before any kind of filtration (earth, pad, lenticular, cross-flow, membrane).
NO GLUCANS IN WINE
(FROM NON-BOTRYTIZED GRAPES)
| T° | Dose | Minimum contact time |
|---|---|---|
| > 15°C | 2-3 mL/hL | 1 week |
| 10-15°C | 3-5 mL/hL | 1-2 weeks |
PROCEED WITH RAPIDASE GLUCAN TEST TO CONFIRM PRESENCE AND LEVEL OF GLUCANS IN WINE (FROM BOTRYTIZED GRAPES)
Glucan in wine 5-15 mg/L (< 30% Botrytized grapes)
| T° | Dose | Minimum contact time |
|---|---|---|
| > 15°C | 3-5 mL/hL | 2-3 weeks |
Glucan in wine >15 mg/L (> 30% Botrytized grapes)
| T° | Dose | Minimum contact time |
|---|---|---|
| > 15°C | 3-5 mL/hL + Rapidase GlucanFree at 2 mL/hL | 2-3 weeks |
- Active from 10 to 45 °C (50 to 113 °F). More active as the temperature rises.
- Time necessary for a negative pectin and/or glucan test will determine sufficient contact time and dosage. Both Rapidase pectin and glucan test protocols are available here.
- Active in the wine’s pH interval and in the presence of standard SO2 concentrations.
- Eliminated by bentonite.
