Influence of Plant Protein Fining Agents on the Phenolic Composition of Organic Grape Musts
Protein-based clarification agents were tested to clarify Chardonnay grape musts during sedimentation. The experiments were conducted in the Etyek–Buda Wine Region in Northwest Hungary over four vintages between 2020 and 2023. The performance of the treatment agents was influenced by several factors...

| description | Protein-based clarification agents were tested to clarify Chardonnay grape musts during sedimentation. The experiments were conducted in the Etyek–Buda Wine Region in Northwest Hungary over four vintages between 2020 and 2023. The performance of the treatment agents was influenced by several factors, such as the composition of the grape must (the absolute concentration and the relative ratio of phenolic compounds) which varied with the vintage characteristics, the physiological and phenolic ripeness of the grapes, and the composition of the clarifying agents itself. Recent investigations show that fully ripe fruit juices can be clarified more effectively, and the effectiveness increases when different types of clarification agents are combined with the plant proteins, e.g., PVPP greatly facilitates the removal of phenolic compounds. The tested plant protein-based clarification agents did not influence the YAN source of the grape musts before fermentation. Our investigations proved an effective impact of these preparations even during the first steps of wine technology. Sensory properties and chemical stability are improved by decreasing the polyphenol content before fermentation, and, besides the good technological effects, wines treated with plant protein agents can be included in the vegan diet. |
