Chemozyme

Chemozyme Enterprises was established in 1983 as a manufacturing and export industry of Isinglass Finings. Isinglass is a highly pure form of collagen traditionally used as a fining agent in beer and wine and is normally added after fermentation to help clarify it through sedimentation by removing yeast, proteins, tannins, lipids and other particles. Our product range: Extrafine, Craftfine, Clearfine and Winefine contain isinglass; a pure non – GMO collagen, food grade organic acid and food grade preservative. It is made from the specially processed fish maws of certain variety of tropical marine fish. Isinglass Finings, being a clarifying agent accelerates the settling of yeast cells and protein particles, thus significantly reducing storage time in the conditioning tank. In breweries, Isinglass Finings is added to the beer at the end of fermentation for faster clarification by removing the suspended solids and yeast cells. The active ingredient in Isinglass is the positively charged protein [collagen] molecule, which attracts the yeast cells that possess negative charge, thereby causing faster clarification. Isinglass is a processing aid used in wine to remove colloidal haze, improve filterability, accelerate the settlement of yeast cells and reduce astringency without affecting the natural flavour of wine.
