The laboratory juice yield and color extraction trials using Rubired grapes demonstrated that a macerating enzyme could increase total juice yield. Trials at two commercial plants compared a macerating enzyme to pectinases routinely used in the plants. The results also demonstrated increased total juice yield with the hard-to-press grape varieties, Ruby Seedless and Flame Seedless. At plant A, where the most intensive study took place, there was an average yield increase of 8.5\%. At plant B a 4.9\% yield increase was obtained.}, issn = {0002-9254}, URL = {https://www.ajevonline.org/content/45/1/113}, eprint = {https://www.ajevonline.org/content/45/1/113.full.pdf}, journal = {American Journal of Enology and Viticulture} }
