Description

  • Hydrosolubilized liquid gelatin making application immediate and easy
  • Rapid flocculation produces heavy, compact sediments that settle quickly
  • High polyphenol-reactivity reduces bitterness without dulling color
  • Excellent compatibility with silica sol for combined protein stabilization
  • Low-dust, pre-hydrolyzed liquid avoids solubilization issues common in powder gelatins

Gelsol is a stable, hydrosoluble gelatin colloid designed for effective clarification of musts, wines, and distillates. When in contact with polyphenols, it forms heavy macro-coagula that quickly settle, improving clarity while reducing bitterness and astringency. In red wines it minimizes off-tannins without affecting anthocyanin-based color. Gelsol works faster and cleaner than powdered gelatins, and pairs well with silica sol to bolster protein-haze removal—ideal for co-fining applications. Its liquid format ensures precise dosing and smooth integration throughout the batch. 

Usage Protocol

  • Dilute Gelsol 1:1 with chlorine-free water or wine before addition.
  • Add slowly while stirring or via a dosing system to ensure even distribution.
  • For enhanced protein removal, add silica sol after Gelsol has fully dispersed (~30 minutes). See below for more details.
  • Allow 24–48 hours for flocculation and sedimentation before racking or filtration.

Using Gelsol When Pairing With Silica Sol
You typically use 25–50% less Gelsol when pairing with Silica Sol because Gelsol binds negatively charged phenolic and protein compounds.Silica Sol binds to positively charged protein-Gelsol complexes to complete the flocculation. The combination is synergistic, meaning you achieve the same (or better) clarification with lower doses of each. This sequence helps create stable, fast-settling lees and improves filterability.

  • Step 1: Add Gelsol first to the tank (diluted 1:1 in water or wine), with good mixing.
  • Wait ~15–30 minutes to allow Gelsol to bind proteins and form complexes.
  • Step 2: Add Silica Sol (also pre-diluted), again with mixing.
  • This ensures effective floc formation and maximizes settling.
