DSM Food Specialties, a world leader in beverage enzymes, has identified
synergies between key products in its portfolio of wine making ingredients
which includes yeast, yeast-derived products and enzymes. DSM Food Specialties
now offers ingredient combinations which, when used together, interact in ways
that enhance or magnify one or more effects, or even create new beneficial
effects. Simply defined, the result obtained through these synergies is
superior to that of using each product alone.
DSM Food Specialties uses its unique technical insight into oenological yeast
and enzymes to improve specific aspects of a wine’s profile. The sequential
action of its Rapidase®(1) Maxifruit enzyme and Fermicru®(2) XL yeast, for
example, allows for the production of fruitier red wines with enhanced
mouthfeel and improved colour stability. For white wines with thiols
precursors, the recently introduced Rapidase Expression works particularly
well in synergy with Collection Cépage Sauvignon yeast for a green varietal
character. Alternatively, when combined with Fermicru 4F9, the synergy
delivers a fruitier, more tropical profile.
An effective solution to the challenge of stuck or sluggish fermentation is
also available through the interactive effect of DSM Food Specialties’
fructophilic yeast, Fermichamp®(3) , and the highly adsorbant, low odour
detoxifying yeast hull Extraferm®(4) . When used together, these ingredients
enable a fresh fermentation start until dryness.
DSM Food Specialties is a leading manufacturer and supplier of ingredients for
the wine industry. Developed by winemaking experts in close contact with
leading oenological universities and institutes, the company produces and
supplies a complete range of specially designed wine biotechnology ingredients
for selected oenological applications. Whether producing bulk or super
premium wines, DSM Food Specialties’ enzymes, wine yeasts and fermentation
aids provide solutions tailored to any winemaking style.
