- Production Process
Délite is produced in Dal Cin production plants using selected Acacia senegal nodules. The raw material used in Délite fabrication is characterized by a high molecular weight and linear chain structure, which is not very ramified. Due to these characteristics it is the most widespread type of gum Arabic in the food sector and in fact gives structure and thickness. These same qualities make Délite an ideal product to use in the wine industry to give wines that lack palate structure, a more pleasant sensory character.\
The raw material processing aims to preserve macromolecular integrity and functionality while at the same time guaranteeing
- a consistent solution concentration _x0001_
- a light yellow color
- physico-chemical and microbiological stability
- Instructions for Use
- Délite might increase filterability index, so its addition after the last tight filtration or membrane filtration is suggested.
- As an alternative Délite can be used in wines ready for bottling (before membrane filtration) verifying in advance filterability index increase.
- Dosage
- 30-80 ml/hl: to prevent iron or copper “casses”. 20-50 ml/hl: to prevent protein haze and colorant matter precipitation.
- To improve wine smoothness within 200 ml/hl.
- To determine the proper dosage, first conduct sensory tests on small volumes.
