COMPOUND, METHOD OF PRODUCTION AND USES THEREOF
EP3775147
The present disclosure relates to a compound, in particular it relates to a polymer that may be used in the field of protein removal from aqueous solutions, in particular from wines. Furthermore, the present disclosure also relates to a method of production of said compound and to uses thereof.
This disclosure relates to the removal of positively charged compounds/molecules, in particular proteins, from the aqueous matrix at a pH > 2.5 - 3.5, wherein the removal is carried out by cation exchange. The removed compounds/molecules comprise positively charged wine proteins that, once the wine is bottled without removal of the latter, can aggregate and precipitate induced by thermal denaturation. The precipitation of these proteins will produce a haze (called protein haze) which can cause the consumer to reject that wine.
