Kordofix

Filtered and purified Kordofan gum arabic solution that provides effective color protection from unwanted precipitation, greatly improving the smoothness and velvety mouthfeel of wines.

Kordofix® is a filtered and purified solution of Kordofan-type (levogyra) gum arabic, known as long chain. It plays an important role in winemaking, particularly in wines that are intended for aging. Some of the main characteristics and applications of Kordofix include:

Protective colloid: Kordofix acts as a protective colloid in wines, which means it can prevent or reduce coagulation and precipitation of unwanted particles. This anticoagulant protective ability is particularly relevant when dealing with polyphenolic substances and low molecular weight proteins in wines, both white and red that are intended for aging.
Color protection: an important benefit of Kordofix is its ability to protect the color of wine. It helps prevent precipitation that could affect the wine’s clarity and keep the color of the wine intact.
Counteracting crates: Kordofix also counteracts ferric and copper crates. These cases are unwanted precipitates that can occur in wines and adversely affect their quality.
Mellowness and astringency reduction: by adding Kordofix to wines, you can significantly improve the smoothness and velvety feel of the wine, reducing the sensation of astringency in the mouth, making the wine more pleasant to enjoy.

Kordofan gum arabic 26% ± 0.5% and sulfur dioxide 0.3%.
It does not contain GMO vegetables.

40-100 ml/hl to prevent protein and copper casses and precipitation of coloring substances;
80-100 ml/hl to add an important organoleptic effect.
Preliminary laboratory tests are recommended for optimal dosages.
Warning: 100 ml/hl of Kordofix provides about 3 mg/l of SO2.
Warning: maximum legal dosage 100 ml/hl.

Kordofix should be added to ready-made wines, either before bottling or after the last filtration, even with the help of an automatic in-line dispenser. Its high molecular weight affects the filterability of wines. Do not perform clarifications after the addition of Kordofix.
