TREATMENT OF FRUIT-BASED OR VEGETABLE-BASED BEVERAGES WITH PRECIPITATED MAGNESIUM SILICATE

摘要

A method of treating a fruit-based or vegetable-based beverage to remove chill haze components therefrom which comprises contacting the beverage with an effective amount of an amorphous hydrous precipitated synthetic magnesium silicate which has been treated to reduce the pH thereof to less than about 9.0. Such a method is particularly applicable to the treatment of beer and related beverages and provides for improved removal of chill haze components from such beverages.
