Class: Bacteria
Format: Freeze dried
Harvest LB-1 for coffee
Harvest LB-1 is a bacteria culture that delivers fast and controlled acidification during coffee fermentation, enabling consistent quality and improved flavor balance.
By lowering pH and stabilizing the fermentation environment, Harvest LB-1 reduces the risk of defects while refining acidity and mouthfeel. The result is a cleaner, more controlled process, even under variable conditions.
Product features, details and benefits
- Ensure consistency across batches and seasons
Reduces variability caused by raw material differences and environmental conditions.
- Deliver clean and balanced acidity
Produces lactic acid that enhances brightness while maintaining smoothness and balance.
- Protect against spoilage and defects
Suppresses unwanted microorganisms and reduces off-flavor risks.
Harvest LB-1 is a freeze-dried Lactobacillus plantarum culture developed for direct inoculation during coffee processing. It converts sugars in coffee mucilage into lactic acid, enabling fast and controlled acidification.
This helps create a stable fermentation environment, limiting spoilage organisms and ensuring uniform fermentation progression.
Harvest LB-1 can be used alone or is highly compatible with yeast cultures such as Boost PK-1, where it contributes structure and balance while yeast drives aromatic complexity.
