Patent Allowances Received for Hydrogen Sulphide-Preventing Wine Yeasts
"One goal of ours was to be able to classically breed this H2S preventing capability into varying genetic backgrounds to provide an array of options to help the wine industry viably and practically address what is widely recognized to be a significant production hindrance and product sensory defect. This has been achieved and now wine yeast strains are commercially available that prevent the formation of H2S while ensuring low SO2 levels. "
