Our chitosan-based solutions

The use of our fungal chitosan shows great potential in the control of spoilage microorganisms and secures wine quality.

Our chitosan is 100% fungal origin from Aspergillus niger, and produced in Europe.

Our chitosan-based solutions

Lallemand Oenology provides chitosan of fungal origin, fully compliant with the OIV International Oenological Codex. Our chitosan is 100% derived from Aspergillus niger, produced in Europe.

Our portfolio includes NO BRETT INSIDE™, BACTILESS™, and ALLIANCE™, solutions designed to:

  • Control spoilage microorganisms and protect wine quality.
  • Support SO2 reduction strategies during winemaking.

A 100% fungal origin for our chitosan-based products

As an ethical company, we guarantee—through specific analyses admitted in the Codex and OIV resolutions (OIV-OENO 368-2009 and OIV-OENO 728-2025)—that our chitosan-based products (including chitosan and chitin-glucan) originate exclusively from fungal sources.
At the core of this approach lies the Stable Isotope Ratio (SIR) analysis, which distinguishes origin through δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values. This technique guarantees the authenticity of fungal chitosan and excludes any animal origin, that is not admitted by the OIV.

As part of our commitment to quality, transparency, traceability and responsibility towards our customers and wine consumers, we provide—upon request—a product certificate confirming the fungal origin (Aspergillus niger) of the chitosan used in our products, whether pure or blended.

Through our long-term exclusive partnership with KitoZyme—a global pioneer and leader in fungal chitin derivatives—we uphold the highest standards of quality, authenticity, transparency, and purity of raw materials, ensuring their 100% fungal origin.
