(www.scottlab.com) or at Fordras Q: Lysozyme is a protein. Will it affect protein stability? Yes. Commercial protein stability tests involving acid precipitation indicate that lysozyme treated wines may need more bentonite than wines without lysozyme treatment. This is not, however, always the case. To know for certain how much bentonite is needed, it is critical that standard heat stability tests be performed. Q: Which fining agents react with lysozyme? Carbon, silica sol, oak chips, and tannin will bind and precipitate lysozyme with a resulting decrease in activity. Bentonite will bind with and inactivate lysozyme. Q: Which fining agents do not react with lysozyme? Gelatin, potassium caseinate and pectinase do not affect lysozyme activity. In fact, pectinase treatment will help maintain lysozyme activity by breaking-down phenolic compounds that can bind lysozyme.
