“…The colloidal fraction of wines is mainly consisting of polysaccharides and proteins. The mean colloid content of, e.g., German white wines is 400 mg L −1 [5]. Wine polysaccharides are extracted during winemaking from the grape cell wall pectin (arabinans, arabinogalactans and arabinogalactan proteins, rhamnogalacturonans, homogalacturonans), from the yeast (α-mannans, ß-glucans), and from the plant infection by pathogenic fungi such as Botrytis Abstract Protein haze in white wines is a major technological and economic problem for the wine industry.…”
