Maxigum is a liquid solution of Gum Arabic obtained from Acacia Verek. Because of its high molecular weight and highly branched structure, Maxigum is extremely effective in preventing the precipitation of color substances in wines ready for bottling. It also improves the sensory features of wine by increasing structure and mouthfeel and reducing the astringency of tannins. The sulfur dioxide contained in this preparation ensures its microbiological stability, so it can be added following microfiltration.
Application: Color stabilization in red wines, increase structure and mouthfeel.
Dosage: 0.2-1 mL/L (0.76-3.8 L/1,000 gal)
