KYOCELL - 5 L (KYOCE0003)

KYOCELL is a cellulose gum E466 for the tartaric stabilization of still and sparkling wines. KYOCELL is derived from wood cellulose. KYOCELL’s characteristics, viscosity, degree of substitution and degree of polymerization, are perfectly adapted to enological applications. Powder formula: White colored ,odorless and soluble in water granular. Liquid formula: 5% cellulose gum solution stabilized with SO₂. KYOCELL meets the criteria defined in the OIV monograph (Office International de la Vigne et du Vin) with regards to cellulose gums. ENOLOGICAL PROPERTIES: KYOCELL acts as a protective colloid. It hinders the formation and growth of tartrate microcrystal thus preventing the precipitation of tartaric salts, potassium bitartrate or calcium tartrate. Do not use with a wine treated with lysozyme.
