What is PVPP

Crosslinked polyethylpyrrolidone (PVPP) is a kind of crosslinked polymer, which is insoluble in water, strong acid, strong base and general organic solvent, and is white or milky powder or particle.

Crosslinked POvidone is one of the three super disintegrators, but it can not only be widely used as medicinal excipients in pharmaceutical preparations, but also as a food additive used in the processing and production of beer, red wine, juice and other drinks, so it has another name – insoluble polyethylpyrrolidone (PVPP).

PVPP function

As a stabilizer for beer, liquor, grape juice and fruit juice and other beverages, extend its storage period.

It can form hydrogen bond complex precipitation with phenols such as anthocyanins and flavonoid polyhydroxyl derivatives through carbonyl groups, thereby removing the non-biological turbidity of alcohol, achieving clarification and stability, and maintaining the original taste and flavor of the beverage.

It is completely insoluble in beer (red wine, juice, etc.) and suitable for any kind of beer (red wine, juice, etc.), improves color and taste, and has no adverse effect on foam and flavor, and can extend its shelf life.

It can also be used in combination with enzymes (proteases) and protein adsorbents to remove allergens.

Adsorption mechanism of PVPP

PVPP, which is insoluble in beer itself, has a long history of safe use in the beverage industry and has been recognized by the German beer Pure control law, Reinheitsgebot. As an insoluble process accessory, it does not need to be indicated on the label. PVPP is chemically inert and non-toxic. In addition, PVPP does not require any special treatment requirements and is usually carried out at the same time as the treatment of waste diatomaceous earth.

How to use PVPP

The PVPP is prefabricated into 8-12% slurry with deoxidized water, and it is left for about 1 hour to make the particles of PVPP fully absorb water and spread out, improve the adsorption efficiency, mix it alone or with other additives such as diatomaceous earth and add it to beer, and fully contact for more than 5-10 minutes after the adsorption is completed, the beer can be completely removed from the PVPP in the body.
