PROTAN AC

PROTAN AC, a tannin derived from the Mimosaceae family that, although extracted from wood, has the same chemical nature as a condensed tannin. After extraction, the tannin is subjected to numerous purification steps preserving its antioxidant properties. Its characteristic is to link directly to anthocyanins and grape tannins with a polymerization process. If added already during the mashing stage, it preserves the polyphenolic compounds from the action of oxygen.

PROTAN AC is obtained with a pushed extraction process and has ideal characteristics for use in fermentation and refinement; it can be added in combination with Ellagitan ellagic tannins and Boisélevage or AlternativOAK wood derivatives.
