Howdy Readers!
We use a lot of Pectinex Smash XXL, the enzyme that clarifies apple juice, orange juice, etc. We have always gotten samples from the company. The well ran dry –now they are making us buy it.
Turns out Pectinex Smash XXL is only sold in 25 Liter pails. 25 liters is enough to clarify at least 17,000 liters of juice. Even we don’t need that much, so we are selling 250 ml bags (not vacuumed) of the stuff for $20 each + $5 shipping (USPS priority) via Paypal. 250 ml will clarify about 170 liters of product. That’s only 8.5 cents per mililiter! We’re not sure about the shelf life, but we’ve had ours for about a year.  I think we can only ship domestic (If you live somewhere else we’ll try to work it out). First come, first serve.

Happy Clarifying!

PS: We are privately selling this; the French Culinary Institute is not involved.
Are they charging everyone for samples now or just those that have requested them several times?
I dunno Greg,
I have another friend who has also been cut off.
Hey Dave how can I get two tix for a buddy and I to come down to the show thursday at 8PM? Or is it sold out already?
lmk
What show?
How does this differ from the pectic enzymes used in home winemaking/cidermaking? Those are pretty readily available in small quantities.
Hi Ben,
I’venever used those enzymes so I don’t know. I will look them up.
They are commonly sold as pectinase, but my understanding is that it’s a more general term. Any homebrew store should sell them.
do you still have any of this available?
Yes Danny, contact Nastassia
For anyone that is looking, Pectinex Ultra SP-L is available at http://www.modernistpantry.com/pectinex-ultra-spl.html. Pectinex Smash XXL is no longer available from the manufacturer, but is not required. You can just use straight Pectinex Ultra SP-L.
