Claristar ®<br />

Tartrate Stability Without Chilling<br />

Claristar ® is the latest yeast derived product to be launched by DSM. A solution of mannoproteins extracted<br />

from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), Claristar was developed to provide tartrate stability in white and rosé<br />

wines. The breakthrough innovation that made Claristar possible is a patented process to extract and separate<br />

rnannoproteins into fractions with the highest tartrate stability potential.<br />

Claristar’s Method-of-Action<br />

Claristar provides mannoproteins of the correct molecular weight to inhibit the nucleation of KHT in solution. The<br />

mannoproteins in Claristar interact with the KHT present in the wine, preventing the nucleation or crystallization<br />

process. By inhibiting this nucleation, tartrate crystal formation in your wine is no longer possible.<br />

For greater effectiveness, Claristar is purified, maintained in its natural state of hydration, and offered as a liquid<br />

product. This allows for easier application at the bottling tank. Claristar may be purchased in 2.5 L or 20 L pack<br />

sizes. Please contact your <strong>Gusmer</strong> representative for pricing.<br />

Benefits Beyond Tartrate Stabilization:<br />

● Mannoproteins already naturally present in wine ● Easy Application ● Instantly Effective ● Positive Impact<br />

on wine profile: aroma and mouth-feel ● Faster than Cold Stabilization ● Environmentally “Greener” than high<br />

energy chiller operation<br />

Bottling<br />

Crystallization of tartrate (potassium acid tartrate, cream of tartar, or KHT) is a natural<br />

process. Potassium (K+), a positive ion, and tartrate (T -2 ) a negative ion, are almost always<br />

in high concentration or super saturation in wines. As alcohol levels increase during<br />

fermentation, the ion solubility decreases. Lower temperatures decrease the solubility even<br />

further, so unstable wine in a home refrigerator can precipitate and drop unsightly tartrate<br />

crystals in the bottle.<br />

Claristar’s mannoproteins prevent tartrate crystallization and can help stabilize your wine.
