Chitosan for superior clarification; non-animal alternative to gelatin

QI�UP XC is used for clarification, even in difficult conditions.

• Animal-free, non-allergenic specialized preparation of chitosan, activated with tartaric acid
• Viable alternative to gelatin for juice and wine clarification
• The tartaric acid portion results in a high surface charge that allows for the rapid aggregation of solid particles
• This innovative floccing can also be used for juice flotation
• When used during flotation the juice must not have started fermentation, it must be pectin-free (try 3-4mL/hL SCOTTZYME� PEC5L), and temperature should be >13�C (55�F)
• To aid in lees/cap compaction during settling and flotation, QI�UP XC should be used in conjunction with bentonite. We recommend 10-30 g/hL of NACALIT� PORE-TEC
• Contact Time: Until juice lees cap forms during flotation (2-4 hours depending on juice volume and conditions and size and shape of tank), or until target solids level reached during static settling

Dosage 
Bench trials recommended

• 30�100 ppm (3�10 g/hL) (0.25�0.83 lb/1000 gal) 

Usage: Add QI�UP XC in 10 times its weight of clean, chlorine-free water, mixing constantly until suspension is homogeneous. Stir to maintain suspension during addition.

Storage: Dated expiration. Store away from light and in a dry, odor-free environment below 25�C (77�F). Once opened, use immediately.
