Acido METATARTARICO
POWDER
10 g/hl of Metatartaric Acid is the maximum limit allowed in the EC.
Appearance: whitish powder.
Metatartaric Acid has excellent stabilizing abilities, particularly against tartaric acid salts, thus preventing their precipitation and subsequent deposit formation in wine.
Pure metatartaric acid, for oenological use, with esterification index 38/40.
Metatartaric Acid provides effective stabilization of wines for medium to long periods of time, preventing tartaric precipitation.
It normally maintains its stabilizing effectiveness for a minimum period of 12 to 14 months from the time of addition, but may prolong its effectiveness depending on the storage temperature of the wine.
In some cases it may cause a slight and temporary cloudiness, which subsequently disappears within a few days; this is attributable to its high esterification index, but in no way compromises the filterability of the product.
In any case, laboratory tests are recommended to assess any cloudiness and to check the filterability index after treatment.
Dissolve theMetatartaric Acid in cold water, at a ratio of 1:10, stirring until any lumps have completely disappeared, then add to the mass being reassembled and homogenize properly.
