Description

Vegetable activated carbon AA-3 for treatment of distilled beverages.

AA-3 is mainly used for the decolorization of distillates, wines and other beverages.

It has a high degree of activation and excellent adsorption capacity.

The selection of the raw material, as well as the activation method, gives AA-3 the ability to retain large molecules, such as fats, proteins and others that contribute color to distillates and alcoholic beverages while preserving to a great extent the original sensory profile of the beverage.

The use of wood activated carbon for the treatment of tequila offers a number of significant benefits:

  • In addition, activated wood charcoal is a safe and natural option, as it does not contain harmful chemicals and does not alter the chemical composition of tequila.
  • Finally, the use of wood activated carbon promotes sustainability, as it comes from renewable sources and its manufacturing process is environmentally friendly.

In summary, the use of wood activated carbon is an effective and safe solution to eliminate unwanted flavors from tequila, providing a high quality tasting experience.

Which contaminants present in tequila can be reduced with activated carbon?

Activated carbon is commonly used in tequila production to reduce contaminants in the liquid and improve its quality.

Some of the contaminants that can be reduced in tequila through the use of activated carbon include:

Methanol: Methanol is a toxic alcohol produced during the fermentation and distillation process of tequila. Methanol consumption can cause serious health problems, so it is important to reduce its presence in tequila.

Sulfur compounds: These compounds may be present in tequila due to the use of certain agave varieties, and can give rise to unpleasant flavors and aromas.

Organic acids: These compounds can be produced during the fermentation process and can contribute to a sour taste in tequila.

Impurities: These can include organic and inorganic particles that can affect the flavor and clarity of tequila.

By reducing these contaminants, activated carbon can improve the flavor, aroma, clarity and purity of tequila.
