MaloStop F

MaloStop F – microbiological protection with fumaric acid (E297)

MaloStop F consists of: Pure fumaric acid (E297) and becomes the Prevention of lactic acid bacteria, in particular the genus Oenococcusused in wine and sparkling wine. The product serves as Effective alternative to sulphur dioxide (SO2) in the field of microbiological protection.

Fumaric acid has an inhibitory effect on lactic acid bacteria by infiltrating the lowered intracellular pH This prevents cell growth. MaloStop F increases the Microbiological stability and protects the colour, structure and complexity of the wine.

The mission shall: After complete alcoholic fermentation Recommended as active yeasts can convert fumaric acid into malic acid. MaloStop F is according to EU Regulation (EC) 2019/934 authorised for winemaking.
