TY - JOUR T1 - Stabilization Studies on Spanish Sherry and on Factors Influencing KHT Precipitation JF - American Journal of Enology and Viticulture JO - Am J Enol Vitic. SP - 123 LP - 128 DO - 10.5344/ajev.1960.11.3.123 VL - 11 IS - 3 AU - H. W. Berg Y1 - 1960/01/01 UR - http://www.ajevonline.org/content/11/3/123.abstract N2 - A "safe" concentration product value for KHT was determined for representative Spanish sherries. Bentonite clarification increased the KHT stability of these wines. Large differences in stability were found among wines having the same concentration product value. Sugar content, tartrate content, and wine type were found to influence tartrate stability because of their effect on deposition rate. A new concept of tartrate stability is offered, and an analytical procedure for its precise determination is suggested for study. ER -
