ATPGroup has unveiled two breakthrough enzymes, Zyme-O-Thiols and Zyme-O-Ultra Cold, designed to help winemakers push the boundaries of aroma and efficiency in the cellar. Zyme-O-Thiols: Unlocking Hidden Aromas For years, winemakers have known that many of a grape’s most exciting aromas are “locked away” in precursor form. During fermentation, these precursors can be transformed into thiols, the compounds responsible for bold tropical fruit notes in wines like Sauvignon Blanc. What sets Zyme-O-Thiols apart is its ability to specifically release the precursors to thiols such as mango, grapefruit, and passionfruit—aromatic compounds that other enzymes simply don’t access. The result is white wines with greater aromatic lift and intensity, and even reds, like Syrah, with new layers of fruit complexity. By targeting these unique flavor pathways, Zyme-O-Thiols gives winemakers a level of creative control over aromatics that standard enzyme preparations can&rsqu

New Article: Winemaking Enzymes 101 What they do, how they work, and how they're all different We wrote this article for the 2024 Winemaking Handbook and we lovingly refer to it as "everything you wanted to know about enzymes but were too afraid to ask." There are a lot of enzymes available and this article provides some foundational knowledge for understanding why certain enzymes work better for certain applications. What can enzymes do? In winemaking, the main function of enological enzymes is to break down pectins and release trapped compounds. This means that enzymes can: INCREASE YIELDS WHEN PRESSING INCREASE EXTRACTION OF COLOR, AROMA, AND TEXTURE COMPOUNDS IMPROVE CLARIFICATION AND FILTRATION ENHANCE VARIETAL AROMAS Read the Full Article New Enzymes RAPIDASE EXTRA PRESS™ is a pectinase enzyme that enhances juice yields and aroma extraction through softer, shorter pressing cycles, reducing oxidative damage risk and improving post-press clarifi
