Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Food & Nutrition Applications
- Dosage
- 1-2 ml per Hl of beer.
- Activity
- 2000 ADU/ml. One ADU is the amount of enzyme which under standard conditions produces 1µmol of acetoin by decarboxylation of alpha-acetolactate.
Properties
- Temperature
- The optimal temperature for this enzyme is around 30-40°C and at the normal lager fermentation temperature the enzyme works at 25% of its maximal activity, but as the fermentation is a long process (several days) the enzyme can eliminate all the alpha-acetolactate.
- pH Effect
- Optimum pH between 5.5 and 6. At pH 5 the enzyme works at 50% of its maximal activity, and at pH 4 at 25%.
- The same remark as for optimal temperature can be made.
Safety & Health
- Safety
Exalase product complies with FAO/WHO JECFA and FCC recommended specifications for food grade enzymes, supplemented with maximum limits of 5 x 104/g for total viable count and 102/g for molds; the product is GRAS.
