SPECTRA® THIOL is a liquid enzyme preparation rich in
pectolytic and secondary enzymatic activities necessary for the weakening of the pectocellulosic wall of the grape cells. This « destructuring » will facilitate the release of all the aromatic precursors contained in these cells.
Combining SPECTRA® THIOL with a thiol-releasing
yeast carrying 2 long alleles of the IRC7 gene coding for ß-lyase production, such as SELECTYS® THIOL, will increase the aromatic potential.
- Optimises the extraction phase during cold stabulation on fine lees
- Optimises the release of the grape’s aromatic precursors, including thiols.
- Proven effectiveness at low temperatures: 4-8°C
- Reduces the time of cold stabulation, and therefore saves energy.
Selected on the basis of specific criteria, SPECTRA® THIOL is able to work at low temperatures and helps to break down
plant cell walls in order to optimise the release of aromatic precursors.
