Pectinmethylesterase activity

COEI-1-ACTPME Determination of pectin methylesterase activity in enzymatic preparations ((Pectin Methyl-Esterase Activity (PME)
(EC. 3.1.1.11 – CAS N° 9025-98-3)

General specifications

These enzymes are usually present within an complex enzymatic preparation. Unless otherwise stipulated, the specifications must comply with the resolution OIV/OENO 365/2009 concerning the general specifications for enzymatic preparations included in the International Oenological Codex.

Glycosidase

COEI-1-GLYCOS Determination of glycosidase activity in enzymatic preparations

Introduction

Enzymes of the glycosidase type are used to reveal the flavours of wines based on their glycosylated precursors.

Cellulase

COEI-1-ACTCEL Determination of cellulase activity in enzymatic preparations (endo-(1 4)- β-D- glucanase)

EC 3.2.1.4 – CAS N° 9012-54-8

General specifications

Yeast protein extracts

COEI-1-EPLEV Yeast protein extracts (YPE)

  1. Object, origin and scope of application

The proteins of yeast protein extracts mainly come from the cytoplasm of Saccharomyces spp. or non-Saccharomyces yeasts. These are separated by physical methods after an extraction process that limits their hydrolysis.
