How is cider purified?

spitting purifies it faster Try this site, it sort of explains how,why and with what: Production of cider with a purified pectin methylesteraseThe present invention discloses the inclusion of an enzymatic maceration step in the cider production process. The enzyme applied in the maceration step is a pectin methylesterase substantially free from depolymerase activities. As a result, the process time is considerably reduced and the use of a separate defecation step can be circumvented. This makes the cider production process much more economic as compared to the current process.* http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP0684305.html
