CYGYC BIOCON S.L. Biogras L

CYGYC BIOCON S.L Biogras L is a liquid enzyme preparation with high pectolytic activity obtained by controlled fungal fermentation. BIOGRAS L is a food grade enzyme according to JECFA/FCC. BIOGRAS L has been designed for the treatment of pastes in the extraction of olive oil. Its high content in pectinases and residual activity as a cellulase and protease enables in depth disintegration of the vegetable fiber. In the first place it digests the pectins constituting the bond between the pulp cells and then enables breakdown of the cell walls by cellulase enzymes releasing protoplasms and the oil contained in the central vacuole. The result is a higher oil yield from the process, whether using presses or 2 phases /3 phases’ decanters. The oil released is separated more easily from the olive pomace as the enzymes alter the stabilizing membranes that form around the smaller drops during beating. The drops of oil bond together more easily and the resulting pomace is less viscous and has a lower oil content.

Use
  • BIOGRAS L is normally used at an approximate dose of 100 grams per ton of processed olives.
  • The dose should be adjusted in the oil mill as it depends, among others, on factors such as the extraction procedure, the variety of olives used, the degree of ripeness on harvesting and the storage time.
Instructions For Use

Dissolve one part of the product in 10 parts of water (calculate the consumption for one shift) and add to the output from the olive mill using a dosing pump. The diluted enzyme should not be stored for more than one day and so the working solution should be prepared daily.
