MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE - 25 KG (CELLU0011)

Microcrystalline cellulose is a partially depolymerized purified cellulose. It is produced by the acid treatment of alpha cellulose extracted solely from non-resinous wood of guaranteed non-GM origin. The average size of the fibers is around 36 kDa. WINEMAKING PROPERTIES: Microcrystalline cellulose is totally insoluble in musts and is therefore defined as a technological additive with regard to legislation. Classified by the OIV in the fermentation activator category, microcrystalline cellulose cannot be used to compensate for a nutritional deficiency of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, but its ability to detoxify the medium by facilitating the nucleation of CO2 ensures a proper process of alcoholic fermentation. APPLICATIONS: Microcrystalline cellulose can be used for two purposes: Correction of the turbidity level of an over-racked must. Detoxification of the medium through a capacity to improve the emission of carbon dioxide during alcoholic fermentation and improve the quality of yeast fermentation.
