Novoclair® Speed
Novozymes North America, Inc. · Novoclair®
Novoclair® Speed is an enzyme preparation used in food manufacturing to clarify fruit juices and wines. It contains polygalacturonase, which breaks down pectin, enhancing clarity and stability. This enzyme blend—comprising pectinases, arabinases, and hemicellulases—accelerates sedimentation, improving mechanical treatments like centrifugation and filtration. It reduces energy consumption and handling costs, cuts gross lees volume by nearly 50%, and boosts yields, leading to higher profits and richer, fruitier wines.
- Preserves fruity flavor
- Rapid clarification
- Lowers energy & handling costs
- Boosts yields & profits
- Enhances richness & flavor
