Stabilization

SIHADEX

SIHADEX special lime for deacidification is a special lime that has been specifically developed for double salt deacidification in grape must and wine. Due to the special characteristics of the product and the proven process (partial quantity deacidification) it is possible to precipitate tartaric acid and malic acid in equal parts as double salt, which is particularly significant during years in which the tartaric acid content is low.

Composition
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
Application
Deacidification of grape musts and wines

核心功能

  • Precipitation of tartaric acid and malic acid at a ratio of 1:1 in partial quantities
  • Fast precipitation of the double salt

SIHADEX special lime for deacidification is a specially selected lime that is particularly suitable for double salt deacidification.

Fast increase of the pH value in the must or wine quantity to be deacidified facilitates optimum precipitation of the tartaric and malic acid at a ratio of 1:1. This process enables optimum harmonization of wines with a high malic acid and low tartaric acid content.

During double salt deacidification a calculated quantity of the must or wine is fully deacidified, i.e. tartaric acid and malic acid are precipitated. The deacidified quantity is then returned to the main quantity. This ensures that the wine has a sufficient ratio of tartaric acid after blending. It is important to aim for this for taste reasons. Total removal of tartaric acid from the beverage would lead to an unpleasant salty, papery taste and at the same time increase the pH value to such an extent that microbiological problems might occur.
