Safdistil™ Plus is our hybrid yeast specifically selected for beet substrates whether it be molasses, high and low purity syrups, or juices. Our Safdistil™ Plus yeast strain is exceptionally tolerant to inhibitors contained in beet substrates organic acids, osmotic pressure, and other inhibitor molecules. It also displays a strong resistance to high temperatures, high alcohol titers and superior fermentation kinetics.
Our Safdistil™ Plus strain allows our partners to improve their ethanol production yields and to lower contamination concentrations during fermentation.
Coupled with our continuous improvement approach we help
industrial ethanol producers to reach optimum ethanol yields on beet substrates.
On beet substrates, Safdistil™ Plus displays a higher productivity when compared to other yeast strains. In the beet ethanol production process, competition between yeast and bacteria is fierce. Through faster ethanol fermentation, this strain allows us to decrease the inhibitory bacterial contamination and thus to increase yields
Our Safdistil™ Plus strain has been selected for its tolerance to high concentrations of ethanol in Very High Gravity fermentations, when the sugar level allows it.
This unparalleled tolerance enables our partners to obtain higher ethanol titers thus saving
energy during the overall fermentation process.
As a result of its resistance to high concentrations of ethanol, this strain has a superior resistance to high temperatures.
This allows a reduction of the process toxicity, consequence of high concentrations coupled with higher temperatures.
