Direct inoculation – MBR®
The MBR® process was developed by Lallemand to reinforce the
Oenococcus oeni cell membrane and to adapt the cells to these harsh
conditions to accomplish direct inoculation.
Direct inoculation is possible or a simple rehydration before inoculating
the wine.
Without rehydration With rehydration OR
Protocol of use : MBR®
To facilitate mixing, we recommend the following: Rehydrate the packet of freeze-dried wine bacteria in 20 times its
weight of clean chlorine free water at 20°C for a maximum of 15 minutes.
Add the suspension directly to the fermenting wine or in the wine towards the end of AF, then stir gently to evenly distribute the bacteria and minimize the oxygen pick-up.
But direct inoculation without rehydration is also possible:
Open the sachet and add the wine bacteria without rehydration prior to or during a pumping-over:
- directly into the fermenting must during a pumping-over (co-inoculation)
- directly into the wine after the end of alcoholic fermentation (AF) or while emptying the tank (post AF-fermentation)
NEW
Effervescent tablets for barrels
Pilot and industrial trials: good repartition of bacteria into the tank - same efficiency than
our current freeze-dried MBR bacteria
No need for rehydration or pumping-over to suspend the bacteria
Easy dose and use: 1 tablet for 1 barrel
MALOTABS
Formulation : MBR bacteria / microcrystaline cellulose / potassium bicarbonate
TRIAL -2013 Chardonnay - Dijon
• AF with CY3079 YSEO®.
• Sequential inoculation with selected wine bacteria. MLF at
20°C. 4HL
• Different bacteria and forms
• bacteria S1 MBR ® : with rehydration = S1R
• Bactetia S1 MBR®:no rehydration= S1
• Bacteria S1 in Tablet form = S1 TAB
• + two other trials with bacteria S2 direct inoculation (S2 R) or tablet
form (S2 TAB)
