Bentolact S 1kg

Formulated for the preventative treatment of must prone to oxidation; helps prevent formation of undesirable off-characters

Bentolact S is a proprietary IOC blend of soluble casein and bentonite. It is most effective when used early (for example, during cold settling of juice). Bentolact S can help reduce bitterness associated with heavy press frac­tions or moldy grapes. The negative charge of bentonite attracts and precipitates positively charged colloidal and proteinaceous materials which can contribute to off-odors and haze. At the same time the casein will help remove phenolic compounds associated with bitterness and oxidation. Higher dosages may be used for poor quality juice.

Bentolact S is supplied in dry form which is easily soluble in water. Ideally it should be mixed in the juice or wine during a pump-over or tank mixing.

To Use:

• Dissolve in 10 times its weight in cold water and mix vigorously to avoid any lumps.
• Allow the mixture to stand for 3 hours.
• Add to the juice or wine during a pump-over or a good mixing.
• Depending upon the wine, a Bentolact S addition may take up to 7 days to settle.

Storage: Dated expiration. Store in a dry, well venti­lated environment at a temperature below 25ºC(77ºF). Once hydrated, Bentolact S should not be stored for more than 24 hours.
