Description

LEVEL2 LAKTIA� is added at the beginning of fermentation where it produces lactic acid from sugar (glucose), impacting acid levels and bringing freshness and aromatic complexity to wines.

� 1 g/L glucose metabolized by LAKTIA results in 1g/L lactic acid
� Can impact pH and titratable acidity
� The longer LAKTIA in is the juice prior to Saccharomyces, the higher the lactic acid concentration will be
� Lactic acid >3g/L can inhibit malolactic bacteria
� Very low fermentative abilities, grows well at low temperatures and can tolerate up to 7% alcohol
Lachancea thermotolerans strain
� Isolated from Rioja, Spain by the Lallemand Oenology R&D team

To optimize lactic acid production: LAKTIA works most efficiently in juices free of SO2 . If SO2 is present, the juice temperature must be >20�C (68�F). Delay Saccharomyces inoculation up to 72 hours post-LAKTIA addition.????
