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.
