Is pectic and pectin same?

No, pectic and pectin are not the same. Pectin is a type of soluble fiber found in fruits and vegetables that can be used as a gelling agent in cooking and food preservation. Pectic, on the other hand, refers to a complex group of polysaccharides found in plant cell walls.

What is peptic enzyme in wine used for?

Pectic Enzyme is added to wine as a clarifier to help eliminate pectin hazes that are caused by fruit (fiber) solids. It is also add by some (commercial and home) wine makers to the crush of the fruit to extract more fermentable juice from the fruit.


What elements are wine made up of?

When done properly... happiness. In short, the sugar is eaten by yeast in the unfermented mix (sugar, yeast, water and acid), and by an enzyme process converted to CO2 bubbles (carbon dioxide) and alcohol. I there is an overabundance of alcohol, too little or too much acid, too much or no sugar - the fermentation will stop. The grape happens to contain everything for the fermentation process in 1 package. When harvested, the grape has a bit of local yeast on the skin, the skin itself adds the proper amount of acid (tartaric, malic and citric) and the sugar/water balance should be good too. If the local yeast is not the specific type you want you can wash / sterilize the grapes and then add your own. Local yeast combined with local grape chemistry is how regional wines happened.
