Adopted

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.

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 sp. yeast. These are separated by physical methods after an extraction process that limits their hydrolysis.
