DISTILAMAX SR is a yeast strain selected for use in the food industry. DISTILAMAX SR displays good osmotic stress resistance and performs well on high solid matrices. It demonstrates a good balance of glucose/fructose uptake, as well as good stress resistance to sodium, organic acids and high temperatures. DISTILAMAX SR is positive for the RTM1 gene, making this strain tolerant to some of the inhibitory toxins that are present in food matrices. DISTILAMAX SR can be used on various food substrates. It is suitable for food applications requiring high fermentation efficiency and productivity.
