    Product Highlights

    Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is used for wine tartrate stabilization; it blocks potassium tartrate formation and growth. There are many types of CMC available on the market, that vary in chemical characteristics and hence applications; and are traditionally used in agri-food, pharmaceutical and industrial sectors. After numerous trials within the Dal Cin laboratories, the best results were found with Karmelosa. It is a carboxymethyl cellulose characterized by an optimal substitution (frequency of carboxymethylic groups) and polymerization degree (glucose units) for stabilization efficacy and for ease of use (low viscosity, correlated with the polymerization degree). Karmelosa is available in powder (Karmelosa DC) and liquid form (Karmelosa L)

    Applications & Uses

    Food & Nutrition Applications
    Instructions for Use
    • Karmelosa L is used on clarified wines that are clear and ready for final filtration.
    • The liquid form is very easy to use. The product must be dissolved in a quantity of the wine to be treated, ensuring perfect homogenization.
    • Finally it is added to the total mass, making sure to pump-over to have complete homogenization
    Dosage
    • From 75 to 150 ml/hL (maximum dosage), according to the wine instability degree
