Pure Neutral Potassium Tartrate (E336)
Appearance: White crystalline powder
il NEUTRAL POTASSIUM TARTRATE it is a salt already present in the composition of the wine and the must in equilibrium with its undissociated acid and with potassium acid tartrate.
Il NEUTRAL POTASSIUM TARTRATE It is used as an acidity regulator, which leads to a re-balancing through a shift in potassium ions, and consequently to the formation of potassium acid tartrate which is poorly soluble in hydroalcoholic solutions, but varies directly through temperature management.
Il NEUTRAL POTASSIUM TARTRATE It also plays an important role in the tartaric stability of a wine, since the simultaneous addition of potassium acid tartrate during refrigeration leads to a greater formation of crystallized nuclei. It does not greatly alter the composition and organoleptic characteristics of the wine and is used as a late intervention thanks to the rapid development of potassium ions in the mass.
It is necessary to conduct microvinifications to determine the most suitable dose, as it cannot be deduced through a stoichiometric calculation.
For the use of TNEUTRAL POTASSIUM ARTHRATE comply with the laws in force.
The doses vary from 150 gr/hL to 350 gr/hL depending on the case.
IMPORTANT: the deacidification of wines in authorised wine-growing areas can only be carried out within a maximum limit of 1 g/L expressed tartaric acid
Dissolve in water beforehand and pour into the mass, taking care to mix it well to avoid local concentrations.
