Abstract:

A total of 24 red wine samples were analyzed by gelatin index, ovalbumin index, sodium dodecyl sulphate
polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Folin-Ciocalteau, and protein precipitation methods, respectively. The
results obtained with these methods were compared with the perceived astringency. The protein precipitation assay showed a
strong correlation with the perceived astringency, which was convenient and suitable for extensive applications in wineries.

Key words: red wine, astringency intensity, evaluation, astringent taste compound
