More information
Mode of action
VICANT SBX™ is highly soluble and, when added to the mash vessel, specifically targets the biochemical reactions that produce harmful precursors, which can lead to oxidative reactions.
It helps control oxidation during the early stages of the brewing process, preventing color change and oxidative deterioration in packaged beer.
FAQ
Vicant SBX is an easy solution to protect flavor, color and colloidal stability right from the initial stages of the brewing process.
- Inhibits LOX activity in low temperature mashes, minimizing the production of staling aldehydes.
- Chelates metal ions (Fe/Cu) that catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby reducing the non-enzymatic autoxidation of unsaturated fatty acids.
- Binds with thiol (-SH) proteins in the mash, further stabilizing the product, and additionally prevents Maillard in wort reactions and in the final beer to eliminate color change
You should store Vicant SBX in a cool and dry room.
You should add VICANT SBX™ into the mash vessel immediately after initial stages of mashing in, it can also be added into the wort kettle.
No pre-dissolving is required.
You should add 5-10g/hl of wort (or 225-500g/tonne of grist).
