Bentonite-Clarified White Wine: Linking Clay Physico-Chemical Properties to Protein Removal Efficiency and Wine Matrix Alterations

Bentonites used for wine clarification vary widely in their ability to remove proteins and alter wine composition, yet the role of their intrinsic properties remains unclear. To address this, eight commercial bentonites with diverse physico-chemical characteristics were analyzed. The doses required...
