Description
Pectinase Zymex Aroma 1 kg – enzyme that releases aroma in white wine
Vinoferm Zymex Aroma is an enzyme complex containing β-glucosidase and pectinase for making white wine. The enzyme is designed to release aroma compounds bound to sugars in the grapes, making the wine more aromatic. A high sugar content can inhibit the enzyme, so Zymex Aroma is best added towards the end of fermentation, at a gravity of 1.005.
How to use Zymex Aroma
- Dissolve the enzyme in plenty of water, about 10–20 times its own volume.
- Gently stir the mixture into the wine towards the end of fermentation (gravity 1.005).
- Let the enzyme work at 12–18 °C until fermentation is finished.
- Once the aroma is strong enough, stop the enzyme by treating the wine with bentonite (1–5 g per 10 litres).

Frequently asked questions about Zymex Aroma
When should Zymex Aroma be added?
Towards the end of fermentation, at a gravity of 1.005. A high sugar content can inhibit the enzyme, so it works best once most of the sugar has fermented.
How much Zymex Aroma should I use?
Dose 6–10 g per 10 litres of wine at 12–18 °C. At low temperatures or with a short contact time, the dose can be increased.
How do I stop the enzyme?
Once the aroma is strong enough, treat the wine with bentonite, 1–5 g per 10 litres.
What is the difference between Zymex Aroma and ordinary pectinase?
Zymex Aroma also contains β-glucosidase, which releases aroma compounds bound to sugars in the fruit. This gives a more aromatic wine.
How should the enzyme be stored?
Store unopened packs in a cool (below 15 °C), dry place. Use opened packs as soon as possible.
