Rapidase® Clear Extreme

Rapidase® Clear Extreme – Enzyme for rapid clarification under difficult conditions

Rapidase® Clear Extreme is a powerful pectolytic enzyme preparation Fast and efficient Clarification of grape mustEven under difficult and extreme conditions. It reduces the viscosity of the must and specifically promotes the aggregation of solid particles.

The use of Rapidase® Clear Extreme leads to a Clearer must and one More compact yeast depot, even at low temperatures, unfavourable pH values or grape varieties which are difficult to sell.
