  • Yeast strains for fermented drinks, particularly wine
    Patent number: 11118157
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a yeast strain likely to be obtained by hybridizing a strain S1 with a strain S2, said yeast strain presenting, according to test A, the following characteristics: fermentation kinetics from 15 to 22 days at a temperature of 24° C.; and resistance with an alcoholic strength of more than or equal to 15% v/v; and a nitrogen requirement of less than or equal to 200 ppm, to the method of producing this strain and to its use.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 14, 2021
    Assignee: LESAFFRE ET COMPAGNIE
    Inventors: Etienne Dorignac, Anne-Dominique Quipourt, Annie Tbaikhi
  • Yeast strains for producing first-generation ethanol
    Patent number: 10106823
    Abstract: The present invention concerns yeast strains that have improved properties relative to the specialized strains that are used in the production of first-generation ethanol. In particular, the strains of the invention have an increased ethanol yield, a lower production of glycerol and ethanol production kinetics that are similar or slightly slower than standard strain D1B. The present invention also concerns the yeasts obtained by culturing said strains, and the use of said yeasts and/or of said strains in the industrial production of ethanol.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 23, 2018
    Assignee: LESAFFRE ET COMPAGNIE
    Inventors: Jean-Michel Bavouzet, Anne-Dominique Quipourt, Annie Tbaikhi

  • Yeast strains for the production of alcohol
    Patent number: 8679777
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel yeast strains intended for alcohol production. The present invention also relates to yeasts obtained by cultures of said yeast strains and use thereof for producing alcohol, in particular in a toxic fermentation medium. Another object of the invention relates to a method of selecting yeast strains that are resistant to a toxic fermentation medium.
