Protofine Beer Clarification

Principle

Protofine is a natural, plant-derived formulation with application potential in a wide range of alcoholic beverage applications. The active components of Protofine have been widely used throughout the food industry for many decades.

Protofine is comparable to traditional fining products (isinglass) in performance.

Vicfine

Vicfine has a moderate effect on sensitive protein reduction. Whilst not a beer stabilizer in its own right it contributes to the action of silica gel, and compliments PVPP. During settlement of flocculated solids, foam negative factors can be entrained. Brewers regularly notice that Vicfine treated beers have improved foam stability.

Reduced cold storage time.

Improved beer haze and stability.

Less re-work.

Alphafloc Paste

Alphafloc isinglass paste is produced from the clean maws of certain types of fish. These fish maws contain about 98% collagen on a dry ash-free basis. The paste form of isinglass comprises finely divided isinglass in an aqueous base with sodium metabisulphite as preservative. The fish maws are subjected to vigorous cleaning followed by wet size reduction via processing which avoids heat generation (thereby avoiding thermal degradation of the collagen).
