Albumin

A sulphur-rich, water-soluble protein that coagulates (denaturates) and flocculates when heated. The substance is mainly found in eggs, milk and blood serum, but also in various plants. It is electrically positively charged and therefore attracts negatively charged substances. Albumin is used to make wine more beautiful. Preparations containing albumin are allergens that must be declared if the amount of proteins in the wine exceeds 0.25 mg/l.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
