Freeze-dried BSA culture for low pH values and high alcohol contents
MaloBacti™ HF2 DI has an excellent performance to perform a fast BSA in high alcohol or low pH wines and works equally well in red and white wines. MaloBacti™ HF2 DI is an Oenococcus oeni strain and was isolated from a Pinot Noir wine.
The advantages are:
- Increase in the survival rate of bacteria after inoculation into the wine,
- Extremely rapid BSA without latency phase, shorter than with direct inoculation.

Frequently asked questions about MaloBacti™ HF2 DI
MaloBacti™ HF2 DI is a freeze-dried starter culture of the genus Oenococcus oeni for direct inoculation for biological acid degradation (BSA). It was specially developed for wines with a high alcohol content and low pH value and is equally suitable for red and white wines.
The strain impresses with its extreme acid and alcohol tolerance as well as its stable activity at low temperatures. It shows exceptionally fast activation and ensures rapid, safe BSA even under difficult conditions.
The strain produces wines with a clear, fruity aroma and avoids lactic or buttery off-notes. This keeps the flavor profile fresh and typical of the variety.
The culture shows outstanding performance in:
-
Alcohol content up to max. 16 % vol.
-
pH values up to 3.0
-
Temperatures between 17°C and 25°C It is therefore ideal for high-alcohol, high-acid or phenol-rich wines.
The DI form (“Direct Inoculation”) allows direct inoculation into wine or must without a pre-activation step, which saves time and increases process reliability.
The strain was isolated from a Pinot Noir wine and specifically selected for its high stress resistance – a guarantee for reliable fermentation results.
MaloBacti™ HF2 DI is available in 25 hl and 250 hl units. However, other container units are also available on request.
