CIDER PROCESSING
Lysozyme Gusmer Oak Products Lysozyme is a food grade enzyme used in alcoholic fermentations to control the growth of gram positive spoilage bacteria, such as Pediococcus and Lactobacilli . It can be a useful tool in the stabilization and prevention of unwelcomed organisms, without the reliance on higher levels of sulfur dioxide. Lysozyme does not inhibit yeast growth, therefore it can be used before or during alcoholic fermentation. Bioseutica lysozyme is available in a 500 g and 5 kg package. Contact Gusmer for dose rates. StellarTan ® tannins from Polyphenolics ® are a complete line of grape tannins (condensed tannins) produced from California wine grape varietals that give cider makers the ability to fully optimize the tannin concentration and structure of cider. Located in one of California’s major grape growing regions, Polyphenolics is a leader in development of tannins. Fully developed grapes are carefully selected and put through a revolutionary extraction process that’s gentle and preserves the true nature of the tannins (low temperature / no organic solvents). These tannins solubilize instantly and completely in cider. StellarTan tannins are available as both finishing and fermentation tannins, each chosen for their total phenolic concentration and varying degrees of polymerization, to give a full complement of options when optimizing tannins in cider.
