With the ICEzym range, we offer various enzyme activities for different technical applications.
The enzymes are catalysts consisting of a protein part called apoenzyme and a vitamin called coenzyme. The common characteristics of the enzymes are the specificity of the action that is directed towards the pectins coming from the grapes. Pectins are polysaccharides that perform a structural action within plant cells. Free in the must during the crushing and pressing operations they cause an increase in viscosity making clarification operations difficult. With the addition of enzymes from the ICEzym line, the objectives of increasing the rate of degradation of pectins and increasing the extraction of the aromatic component in white wines and of the coloring component in red wines are achieved.
