SYMBYO | Fermentation under your control

"Fermentation under your control"

Symbyo is a scientific and business project that aims to produce and market yeast biocapsules, an innovative and disruptive technology in the world of alcoholic fermentations. Symbyo started in Cordoba, Spain where the yeast biocapsules were discovered, specifically at the University of Cordoba. For some years, the scientists at the University realized the great potential of this discovery and now, together with a group of specialists in international commercialization, design and marketing, form symbyo.

Yeast Biocapsules

The yeast biocapsules is a technology for producing fermented products such as wine or cider. They are hollow spheres that conglomerate millions of fermentative yeast cells inside. This technology has been patented by the University of Cordoba (Spain) and differs from traditionally used systems because yeast biocapsules are completely natural technology, it have the ability to be charged with desired type of yeast, promote a easy yeast handling and allow the reutilización of the same yeasts up to seven times. The power of biocapsules differs based on their application.

Yeast biocapsules are hollow spheres with a porous wallto which selected yeastsadhere. The hollow structure of the biocapsules allows an easy flow of the liquid (wine, beer or cider) between the exterior and the interior of the biocapsule thus accelerating the fermentation process. The fact of having a porous wall instead of a flat surface means that the biocapsules have more adhesion area, thus immobilizing a greater number of yeasts when compared to other conventional systems. Also, there is an added benefit of personal customization, where the user can select the yeast to immobilize including fermentative, flocculant, biological aging, and sparkling wine yeast, etc.
