Flor’Protect^®

Throughout the alcoholic fermentation, especially under difficult conditions (high ABV, high temperatures, nitrogen deficiency), yeasts produce inhibitory compounds (medium chain fatty acids) which accumulate in the medium. Like pesticide residues, these molecules inhibit the yeasts’ fermentary capacity and can lead to stuck fermentations. These compounds also inhibit malolactic bacteria and can cause complications for the malolactic fermentation.

Flor’Protect® detoxifies the medium using the adsorbent properties of yeast hulls to bind these inhibitors, thus improving yeast and malolactic bacteria activity.

Flor’Protect® can also be used for preventive treatment, to avoid sluggish fermentations (and the knock-on effects on the malolactic fermentation), or for curative purposes, to detoxify the wine when restarting a stuck fermentation.
