Sihazym Fine
Granulated Enzyme Compound for Improving the Filtration and Extraction of Mannoproteins from Yeast Cell Walls
SIHAZYM Fine enzyme from Eaton’s Begerow Product Line is a pectolytic enzyme compound with secondary ß-glucanase activity. The combination of pectolytic main activity and ß-glucanase activity enables increased wine filtration. The increase in filtration is due to the breakdown of fibrilous substances (origin grapes) and filtration-inhibiting residual pectins. Beside botrytis cinerea, further microorganisms present on the grapes are able to form fibrilous substances that can lead to problems during must clarification and young wine filtration.
SIHAZYM Fine enzyme is the enzymatic solution to these problems. Due to its ß-glucanase activity, SIHAZYM Fine enzyme is used for the extraction of mannoproteins during storage of young wines on yeast. The oenological aim is to break the yeast cell wall enzymatically, thereby achieving increased extraction of mannoproteins. Higher mannoprotein content promotes the mouthfeel and the complexity of wines.
Technical Specifications
SIHAZYM Fine enzyme has a pectolytic activity of 4,400 PGNU/dr (2,500 PGNU/g, polygalacturonase) and ß-glucanase activity (exo-1,3) of 177 BGXU/dr (100 BGXU/g). The product is cleaned of cinnamyl esterase activity.
Features and Benefits
- The specific advantages of SIHAZYM Fine enzyme:
- Increased filtration capacity → lower production costs
- Release of mannoproteins
- Increased mouthfeel of wines
- Increased complexity
- Suitable for “sur lie” storage; batonnage development
Product Applications
SIHAZYM Fine enzyme is a special enzyme for treating young wines with the aim of increasing the filtration capacity. The application of SIHAZYM Fine enzyme specifically promotes the breakdown of filtration-inhibiting substances such as botrytis glucan and further polysaccharide complexes.
Based on the dosage recommendation, add SIHAZYM Fine enzyme directly into the tank as a 10% solution in water towards or after the end of the alcoholic fermentation (utilization of fermentation heat).
For the clarification of must reserved from grapes infected by botrytis, add SIHAZYM Fine enzyme to the must clarification container. It is important to ensure optimum distribution of the enzyme solution.
