IFF has announced the launch of its new enzymatic solution that allows breweries to maintain beer clarity with a smarter, simplified process. BClear enables breweries to achieve a more cost-efficient and robust stabilisation process, improve foam stability and reduce gluten content. Jens Magnus Eiken, global product manager for Brewing & Distilling enzymes at IFF, commented: “We’re bringing new expertise in colloidal stabilization. BClear is a strong performing solution that is smarter, simpler, more efficient and sustainable. Now, brewers can have greater confidence when optimising their beer-making process.” BClear delivers a more robust process thanks to its high efficiency, allowing for dosage optimisation. Once optimum dosage for stabilization is reached, BClear delivers a very consistent response, allowing brewers to get it right the first time, achieving quality targets and reducing risks of loss or rework. Sven Schönenberg, global application group manager for Brewing & Distilling enzymes at IFF, said: “Due to minimal handling, BClear is easier to use in production, compared to non-enzymatic solutions; it does not affect the beer taste, improves foam stability, while enabling the production of low-gluten beer”. Schönenberg added: “The solution helps breweries reach their gluten target faster, shortening the beer release time and reducing process complexity, compared to current enzymatic solutions. Choices become easy when you can see the benefits right in front of you and BClear is smarter, simpler, more efficient, and more sustainable.”
