DistilaMax® AG was selected in Mexico on Agave tequilana (blue agave) juice using Tequila production conditions.
DistilaMax®AG has the ability to ferment fructose well and to work on a wide pH range. This results in good fermentation kinetics with low residual sugars and high yield.
Using DistilaMax®AG in fermentations allows distillers to achieve spirits with complex, intense and well-balanced aromatic profiles with some floral and herb charaters, combined with sweetness and acidity in the taste, all typical traits of an exceptional Tequila.
DistilaMax®AG displays good temperature tolerance (20°C-38°C). The short lag phase limits the development of contaminating organisms.
