Method of removing proteins from beverages using crosslinked tannin/inorganic oxide composites

摘要

Epoxy-polymerized tannin/inorganic oxide composite particles are obtained by polymerizing the tannin with a polyepoxy crosslinking agent in situ on inorganic oxide particles. The compositions of the invention are capable of achieving the performance of tannin in beverage treatment applications without tannin's associated filtration disadvantages.
