Specific Inactivated Yeast enriched in Glutathione

The utilization of specialty inactivated yeasts (SIY) in winemaking has gained popularity in recent years, and their uses are varied. For example, SIY can be used as protectors during yeast rehydration and as a nutrition tool during fermentation. As we understand more about the yeast cell constituents, the production process, the characterization of each yeast strain and their unique fractions, we can obtain very specialized inactivated yeasts to yield specific results under defined conditions. Such is the case for the inactivated yeasts that can trigger specific responses during fermentation due to their unique functionalities. This issue of the Winemaking update will focus on a new SIY designed for white and rosé wines.
