Pinnacle FermiSafe

Identification & Functionality

Ingredient Name: Yeast
Food Ingredients Functions: Yeast Nutrient
Ingredients: Yeast, Inactivated Yeast
Formulation: Selected wine yeast cell walls, specific inactivated yeast and polysaccharidic fibers of vegetal origin.

Features & Benefits

Characteristics: • Pinnacle FermiSafe provides physical support elements for the inoculated yeast to better disperse into the medium thus shortening fermentation lag-phase.

• Inactivated yeast contained in Pinnacle FermiSafe provides survival factors (sterols) and gradually releases amino acids during fermentation.

• Cellulose contained in Pinnacle FermiSafe also creates nucleation sites which avoid the toxicity effect of CO2 accumulation in the bottom of fermenting vessels.

• By using Pinnacle FermiSafe you assure a complete, safe fermentation with enhanced aromatic complexity of your wine.
Scientific background: The inhibition of alcoholic fermentation is caused by substances produced by the actively fermenting yeast which, acting synergistically with ethanol, are toxic to the yeasts themselves. Among these are decanoic and octanoic acids. Their adsorption by yeast cell walls permits the prevention and treatment of fermentation stoppages. (Lafon-Lafourcade et al 1984).

Applications & Uses

Markets: Food & Nutrition
Applications: Food & Nutrition — Beverage
Oenology
Food & Nutrition Applications: Wine
Application: • Pinnacle FermiSafe is a detoxifying fermentation aid ideal to avoid sluggish/stuck fermentations.

• Yeast cell walls adsorb medium-chain fatty-acids and residual pesticides.
Instructions for use: Rehydrate in water in the ratio of 1 to 10;
wait 15-30 minutes then add to the must or wine to be treated.
Dosage: 25-40 g/hL at the beginning of fermentation.
Maximum dosage allowed by EU: 40 g/hL.
