Development of a Proprietary Yeast Strain for Non-Alcoholic Fermentations
EF 2023-24 · 2023-10-02
Résumé
This project will seek to identify and modify a yeast strain that will convert fermentable sugars primarily or exclusively into glycerol, while minimizing the production of ethanol, resulting in a product that is less than 0.5% ABV (alcohol by volume).
CO2 would be produced as a byproduct of these sugars-to-glycerol fermentations, allowing for these innovative techniques to be applied to sparkling wine production. The low or nominal-alcohol wines produced using this new yeast strain could present unmatched qualitative advantages when compared to the present qualitative compromises and challenges of de-alcoholization via reverse osmosis.

Description
This project will seek to identify and modify a yeast strain that will convert fermentable sugars primarily or exclusively into glycerol, while minimizing the production of ethanol, resulting in a product that is less than 0.5% ABV (alcohol by volume).
CO2 would be produced as a byproduct of these sugars-to-glycerol fermentations, allowing for these innovative techniques to be applied to sparkling wine production. The low or nominal-alcohol wines produced using this new yeast strain could present unmatched qualitative advantages when compared to the present qualitative compromises and challenges of de-alcoholization via reverse osmosis.
Description (French)
Ce projet vise à trouver et à modifier une souche de levure qui convertira les sucres fermentescibles principalement ou exclusivement en glycérol, tout en minimisant la production d’éthanol, ce qui permettra d’obtenir un produit dont le titre alcoométrique volumique est inférieur à 0,5 %. Le CO2 serait produit en tant que sous-produit de ces fermentations des sucres en glycérol, ce qui permettrait d’appliquer ces techniques innovantes à la production de vins mousseux. Les vins à faible teneur en alcool ou à teneur nominale produits à l’aide de cette nouvelle souche de levure pourraient présenter des avantages qualitatifs inégalés par rapport aux compromis qualitatifs et aux défis actuels de la désalcoolisation par osmose inverse.
