Arauner Kitzinger Antigel Antigenic Agent 0.5 kg

Kitzinger Antigel Antigeliermittel is an enzyme preparation for the degradation of pectin and mucilage during fruit juicing.

Contents: 0.5 kg

Fruit mashes are often difficult to squeeze off. The cause are pectins and mucilages! For this reason, Antigel is added after grinding the fruit. In the case of fruit with little juice, water is also added and everything is stirred in well.

In addition to the dosage quantity, the temperature and contact time play a major role. This is well explained in the Kitzinger wine book.

Antigel reaction times and effect:

below 10°C = hardly any pectin degradation
around 15°C = approx. 15-20 hrs.
around 20°C = approx. 10 hrs.
around 25°C = approx. 7-10 hrs.
around 30°C = approx. 5 hrs.
around 40° - 50°C = 2-3 hrs.
above 55°C = inactivation (destruction) of the enzyme
