Maxaferm ML Force
THE ORGANIC NUTRIENT FORMULATED FOR LACTIC ACID BACTERIA NUTRITION
PURPOSE
O. oeni has specific nutritional requirements: it cannot use ammonium and depends on peptides and amino acids. After alcoholic fermentation (AF), essential nutrients are often depleted, making sequential MLF difficult.
Maxaferm® ML Force, based on autolysed non-Saccharomyces yeast (Cyberlindnera jadinii), is rich in bioavailable peptides, minerals, and vitamins. It also contains S. cerevisiae yeast cell walls, which adsorb fatty acids that inhibit bacteria, thus promoting successful MLF.
Properties
Thanks to the optimised composition, Maxaferm ML Force:
● Ensures rapid and complete MLF.
● Avoids excessive heating of wines to start MLF.
● Contributes to wines free from aromatic defects.
Oenobrands products are made from yeast derivates selected and dried using exclusive technology. This ensures their great ability to disperse quickly and without forming lumps.
Science and Technology
Maxaferm ML Force is a necessary nutrient for successful MLF, especially in challenging conditions.
At 18°C, the MLF of Nebbiolo wine (Figure 1) does not initiate on its own, even in the presence of a classic S. cerevisiae yeast autolysate. Maxaferm ML Force enables the onset of MLF and complete malic acid consumption, regardless of temperature.
Maxaferm ML Force ensures consistent, rapid and complete fermentation kinetics.
With Maxaferm ML Force, MLF at 18 °C (Figure 2) is fast (16 days) and the only one achieving full malic acid consumption thanks to the adequate nutrient supply.
