DISTILAMAX CN is a natural strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast selected by the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Brazil, under the reference UFMG 1007. DISTILAMAX CN displays good tolerance to osmotic stress and performs well in adverse conditions, at high temperatures up to 40°C and a pH range 3.4 - 5.3. making it suitable for various Food industry processes. DISTILAMAX CN shows ability to work well on fresh substrates and displays a complex and well-balanced aromatic profile due to the production of key esters important for Food applications. DISTILAMAX CN's selection was based on two criteria, its ability to perform well in adverse conditions common in Food processing, and the production of a congener profile that adds complexity and flavour in Food products.
