EvodiaBio and Lallemand Brewing create natural fragrance to improve NOLO beer flavour
The award-winning Danish bio-industrial start-up EvodiaBio and Lallemand Brewing, a world leader in yeast science and manufacturing, are pleased to announce their strategic partnership in introducing Yops to the brewing sector.
A novel natural fragrance solution made from yeast, Yops is intended to improve the flavour of low- and no-alcohol beers (NABLABs).
Lallemand Brewing said it is committed to providing solutions for NABLABs including the maltose-negative yeast LalBrew LoNa for ultra-low attenuation fermentation and the inactivated specific yeast ISY Enhance to improve body and mouthfeel.
Lallemand Brewing added that the partnership with EvodiaBio allows it to take its progress further by providing brewers with a natural, high-quality, and consistent aroma solution. Yops enables brewers to address the challenges of crafting NABLABs by restoring the hop aroma compounds often lost during production, resulting in full-bodied and aromatic beers.
Through a patent-protected yeast fermentation process, EvodiaBio has developed an efficient method to produce some of these critical aroma molecules. Leveraging yeast capabilities to produce flavours, Yops provides brewers with a new level of control over the aroma profile of their beer in a natural manner, allowing them to achieve the desired fullness of taste and consistency.
As demand for low and no-alcohol beers and sustainable solutions continues to grow, we are excited to collaborate with Lallemand, whose expertise and extensive distribution network will help bring Yops to a global market,” said Camilla Kloss Fenneberg, CEO at EvodiaBio.
Lallemand Brewing and EvodiaBio both want to empower brewers with tools that enhance both product quality and creative possibilities. As part of this partnership, Lallemand Brewing will use its distribution network and direct sales capabilities in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, to support EvodiaBio in introducing Yops to the market.
