ZYMASIL^® UD

ZYMASIL is known for its ability to implant and its suitability for fermentation. It has been selected for its very low production of higher alcohols and ethanal and its synthesis of esters with floral and fruity characters. Under conventional harvesting and wine-making conditions, its low production of volatile acidity and ethyl acetate ensures compliance with the quality standards for making wine in the Charente region. ZYMASIL UD (Direct Use) comes from selected batches of the ZYMASIL strain with higher vitality and viability thanks to less stress during production (due to controlled drying). Its ability to implant itself quickly, together with its use without rehydration, helps to increase its early domination of indigenous flora. AEB GROUP’s R&D department has run many comparative tests with ZYMASIL UD. These tests have been conducted with both the joint trade organisation and with the main producers of distillation wines for the production of Cognac. Together with microbiological, analytical and sensory checks, these tests have helped prove that ZYMASIL UD is a reliable alternative to pitching with rehydration.
