ANTIOXIN SBT protects the mash and the wort against oxidation and significantly improves beer freshness during aging.
During brewing, the oxidation of lipids by LOX (lipoxygenase enzyme) and auto-oxidation form aldehydes responsible for the loss of freshness. These are masked during boiling. However, the slight acidity of the beer slowly releases (over 3 to 6 months) these aldehydes, causing the beer to lose its freshness and organoleptic characteristics.
ANTIOXIN SBT inhibits LOX activity and auto-oxidation. Its use reduces the amount of aldehydes present in the finished product by 30% to 60% after 3 months of natural aging.
Dosage: 5 to 10 g/hL of wort during mashing, after mixing the grains and water
