FAQ
D L l i ICV OKAY® SO2 d i AF?Does Lalvin ICV OKAY® consume SO2 during AF?SO2 is usually consumed by the Saccharomyces yeasts in the sulfate pathway. Lalvin ICV OKAY®, within its specific metabolism, uses directly SO2 for the synthesis of the two sulfur essential amino acidsavoiding the release of H2S.
Is Lalvin ICV OKAY® able to dominate among wild yeasts, if no sulfite is added in the must?if no sulfite is added in the must?Lalvin ICV OKAY® shows strong fermentative properties allowing a quick onset of fermentation, with a good multiplication during the exponential phase avoiding the development of the indigenous floraexponential phase, avoiding the development of the indigenous flora.
