PEPfix®

Prolyl oligopeptidase enzyme that hydrolyses proline-rich proteins for clarification/stabilization in beer.

Product Specs

A prolyl oligopeptidase (also known as prolyl endopeptidase) that hydrolyses proline-rich proteins, mainly at the carboxyl site, involved in protein-polyphenol interactions to give an enhanced colloidal stability. Colloidal stability improves significantly when PEPfix® is applied in combination with Stabifix silica gel. The combined application allows for a marked reduction in enzyme dosage rates resulting in a considerably lower cost-in-use. Can also be used to produce gluten-free beer.

  • Highly selective – targets only haze-sensitive proteins.
  • Does not impact beer quality parameters including foam, color, and taste.
  • Works in synergy with Stabifix silica gels to give cost-in-use benefits.
  • The combined products comply with crossflow membrane filtration.
  • Works well with all adjunct brewed beers
  • Can be used to produce gluten-reduced beers
