Fining Agent in Wine / Beverage / Beer Making
Chitosan is an old and reliable fining agent derived from chitoglobal.com/en/our-products">chitin, a polysaccharide found in fungi (aspergillus niger). When added to wine or beer, a slight electrostatic attraction binds yeast and other particles to the Chitosan. This accelerates the settling process (flocculation), clarifying the beverage more quickly and effectively.
