DISTILAMAX GW is a yeast strain developed for use in the food industry. DISTILAMAX GW displays good temperature tolerance and performs well from 20°C up to 34°C. It ensures a very quick start of fermentation which reduces the risks of contamination by wild yeast and bacteria. DISTILAMAX GW produces a clean congener profile that is well-suited to food applications. DISTILAMAX GW, when compared with other yeast strains specifically selected for food production, performs well in regards to the kinetics of fermentation along with the production of congeners which are favourable to food, as demonstrated in figures 1 and 2.
