The pure Kadifit crystals can be added directly to the mash, must, wine or fruit wine. Kadifit decomposes in these media and liberates approximately 50 % of its applied weight as SO2. This means, 10 g Kadifit per 100 kg/L mash, must or wine give off 50 mg/L SO2. After adding Kadifit, mix as thoroughly as possible to avoid excess concentrations. The SO2 formed by Kadifit has antioxidant and disinfectant properties. Moreover, SO2 prevents enzymatic oxidations and affects taste sensations positively as it binds fermentation by-products, particularly acetaldehyde. view less |
