Thesis Defense: Congratulations Viwe Tyibilika On Oct 4th @Viwe Tyibilika brilliantly defended his thesis entitled “Exploring the management of redox status in wine yeast species: impact on the production of aromatic compounds” at the University of Stellenbosch. This thesis, co-financed by Lallemand Oenology and SA […]

Thiols in red wines?Red thiols in wine, what do we talk about? Research has highlighted the ability of red grape varieties to release thiols. Extracting them produces fresher, fruitier wines.While many of us associate volatile thiols with Sauvignon Blanc, Mansengs, Riesling and Colombard, […]

Biological solutions to control contaminants in wine Managing the risk associated with microbial spoilage is a key point throughout the life of a wine. This Under Investigation edition will explain the mode of action and the efficiency of our chitosan-based products, 100%-natural, biodegradable, non-GMO and non-allergenic. The […]

Acceleration Life-Sized Acceleration Validating research results is a key step to which we dedicate both time and resources. We are supported by our network of external technical institutes as well as our partner distributors. We validate all the solutions we develop. […]

Ageing The ageing potential of a wine depends on various factors, including the grape variety, winemaking techniques, and storage conditions. If proper storage and timing are crucial for achieving the desired ageing outcomes, microbiological tools also play a significant role in wine ageing. […]

Aromas: esters The majority of esters are primary flavour compounds, mainly formed during fermentation via enzymatic or non-enzymatic esterification of carboxylic acids. The two main classes of esters important to wine are ethyl esters and acetate esters. With their specific metabolisms, certain […]

Aromas: thiols and terpenes Thiols are a family of aroma compounds that are widely known for their contribution to typical notes of citrus (3MH), passion fruit (3MH-A) and gooseberry/boxwood/cassis (4MMP). These aromas are highly characteristic of some white grape varieties, such as Sauvignon Blanc, […]

Bioacidification Global warming affects winegrowing, grapes and wine composition. One of the impacts of climate change is the loss of acidity and freshness in wines which is a real concern to winemakers and a challenge for the wine industry. Acidity balance […]

Bioprotection As an expert in the selection and production of non-Saccharomyces yeasts and lactic acid bacteria, we have developed many natural and efficient solutions from vine to wine to bioprotect grapes, musts or wines against spoilage microorganisms or against oxidation. The […]
