Kadifit®

Kadifit® – Potassium disulfite for safe sulphurisation of must and wine

Kadifit® is a highly pure potassium disulfite (potassium pyrosulfite, K2S2O5) in crystalline form for the professional sulphurisation of mash, must, new wine and fruit wine.

After addition, Kadifit® releases about 50% of its weight as SO2, providing reliable oxidation and microbiological protection. At the same time, it prevents enzymatic oxidations and binds troublesome fermentation by-products such as acetaldehyde.

Product benefits

• Pure potassium disulfite (E224)
• Effective oxidation protection
• Microbiological protection
• Binds acetaldehyde
• Ideal for stainless steel containers
• No free SO2 gas in the tank headspace

Dosage

• 10 g per 100 l are placed approx. 50 mg/L SO2 free
• Mash: 5–15 g/100 kg (25–75 mg/L SO2)
• Must: approximately 10 g/hL (50 mg/L SO2)
• Young wine: 10–15 g/hL (50–75 mg/L SO2)
• Wine: target value 30–50 mg/L free SO2

Legal limits for total SO2 must be observed. Combinable with ascorbic acid for further SO2 reduction.
