This is a highly effective tool designed to control Brettanomyces in the cellar. It has been proven to reduce Brettanomyces populations from 3 x 105 cells/mL to 0 following just 10 days of treatment.
This helps to control the bacterial population in wines, avoiding. It avoids the negative sensory impacts that are associated with weathering bacteria such as acetic acid and biogenic amines.
This has been specially developed for its antioxidant properties on musts and on wines. It is used on white and rosé musts that show a tendency to oxidation (altered vintage for example) or wines, including even those that are oxidized. It allows for the rapid sedimentation of the complex.
This unique, effective and innovative flotation adjuvant features a speed of action that enables it to float all types of musts while preserving the organoleptic qualities of the original product.

Based on our experience in wine, KitoZyme is conducting research and development activities in:
Fruit juices
Beers
Ciders
Cognacs
Fungal chitosan and chitin-glucan offer innovative and efficient tools to eliminate contaminants, deleterious bacteria, yeasts and molds. Our biopolymers are very cost-effective and easy to use.
We are currently involved in several cooperative projects to develop clarification solutions in fruits juices.
Together with a partner, we are also testing the micro-encapsulation of vitamins with our material to protect them during the whole process and shelf life.
