Natuferm Fruity
TO BOOST FRUITINESS AND AROMATIC SHELF LIFE
PURPOSE
Natuferm® Fruity is an autolysed yeast, selected for its richness in amino acids, precursors of ester aroma, produced during alcoholic fermentation. The presence of ergosterol is also advantageous because lipids are required by yeast to protect its membrane and ensure its ability to consume amino acids for the production of esters.
Properties
Natuferm Fruity is naturally rich in amino acids, precursors of esters with fruity notes. Also, its richness in ergosterol helps preserve yeast membrane fluidity and viability until the end of fermentation, making sure the yeast grows well enough for good aroma production. Depending on the yeast strain used, there is a tendency to preserve PDMS, which increases the fruitiness shelf life and positively influences the qualitative ageing aroma of wines.
Natuferm Fruity provides vitamins and organic nitrogen, an efficient form of YAN, to ensure fermentation. Efficient fermentation, supported by Natuferm Fruity, avoids the formation of negative reductive aromas.
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
These are the results of the dosage of aroma compounds (in odour units) on Syrah wines, fermented with and without Natuferm Fruity, with a high synthesis of acetates.
Natuferm Fruity enhances the fruity and floral aroma. It is very interesting to notice the lower quantity of molecules masking the aroma (alcohol and fatty acids). Natuferm Fruity appears as a booster for the aroma release, both in terms of quantity and quality. The fruitiness of the Natuferm Fruity wine is more than 1% superior to the control.
The sensory character of the wine made with Natuferm Fruity is improved as a result of the tasting. This wine is preferred due to the quality of the red fruit aromas and varietal characteristics of Syrah wines. With Natuferm Fruity, the wine is less bitter and has more freshness, for a better expression of the aroma.
