Brewers TasteZyme™ G 500g
SKU: BZZZ1744
TasteZyme™ G is an enzymatic solution from DSM that lets brewers fine-tune the flavor of non-alcoholic beers.
During the biological production (vs. vacuum distillation or other methods) of non-alcoholic beer, the activity of the yeast is suppressed to prevent the formation of alcohol. This can prevent conversion of aldehydes into neutral or desirable flavor compounds, which can lead to an overly sweet aftertaste in the finished product.
With Brewers TasteZyme™ G, brewers have a simple and effective solution to improve the flavor balance of non-alcoholic beers produced via limited/arrested fermentation methods. As this enzyme is considered a processing aid, no labeling is required.
Brewers TasteZyme™ G is a glucose oxidase enzyme that converts glucose – which is present in most of the nonalcoholic beers produced via cold contact or limited fermentation – into gluconic acid that will give a more sour taste to these alcohol-free beers. Apart from the direct souring effect, this TasteZyme™ G will also contribute positively to the freshness of beers over time, as this glucose oxidase enzyme also acts as an oxygen scavenger.
Dosage rate
For optimal function, use 1.0 – 2.0 kg enzyme/ton of raw materials during the mashing in process. To dose as a liquid, Brewers TasteZyme™ G should be mixed and diluted at a dosage of 1 kg in 4 liters of ambient brewing/product water, just before dosing to the mash tun. The optimal pH for highest activity is in the range of 4.5 – 6.5 and the optimal temperature is in the range of 20°C – 60°C.
