Research progress of protein haze in white wines by Zhaolong Liu, Le Xu, Jun Wang, Changqing Duan, Yanfeng Sun, Qingsen Kong, Fei He

“…Proteins that caused haze or precipitation in white wines mainly came from grape fruits, and their compositions and contents were affected by many factors such as fruit diseases, harvesting methods and water stress. Unstable wine proteins were usually pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins of grapes, mainly chitinases and thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs), which had lower isoelectric point (pI) and smaller molecular weight, and were highly resistant to the low pH values of wines and the protease hydrolysis during fermentation. …”
