Scott Laboratories is pleased to announce that Bactilessâ„¢, a new product from Lallemand to control spoilage bacteria in wine, has been approved under TTB 24.250 for continual use in wine.

Bactiless is a 100% natural, non-allergenic form of chitin-glucan from a non-GMO strain of Aspergillus niger, which has been formulated to help control bacterial populations in wines post-fermentation. Bactiless helps to lower the viable acetic acid and lactic acid bacterial (LAB) populations, while having minimal effect on yeast populations. This polysaccharide can be used to stabilize wines post malolactic fermentation, or it can be used to inhibit malolactic fermentation. There is a minimum contact time of 10 days and the wine should be racked post treatment. Bactiless helps to avoid the negative sensory impact caused by spoilage bacteria such as acetic acid and biogenic amines. 

 

Bactiless recently received a special award from Intervitis Interfructa Hortitechnica for this innovative approach to bacterial control during the winemaking aging process.
