Stabilization of wines with polymers and new bio-based carbon materials

Abstract

Wine is a complex product which changes its properties at every production stage, however due to the different processes which take place in the production stage can result into the formation of unwanted turbidity, deposition or can lead to distortion of taste. Despite the advances in improving wine stabilization processes, the search for new materials continues. The present work focuses on clarification of wines on the basis of new polymers and carbon materials obtained from bio-renewable raw materials and byproducts from the production of 2,5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF).
