Investigation of the appear¬ance and elimination of “pinking” phenomenon in white wines is pre¬sented in the paper. Several factors that can cause pinking were ana¬lyzed: the degree of grapes ripeness and enzymatic treatment. The effect of fining agents based on polyvin¬ylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) on the elimination of “pinking” was deter¬mined. It was proved that pinking in wines decreases with an increase in the sugar content in grape. This is explained by a decrease in the content of anthocyanins at the end of technical ripeness of grape. Experimental studies confirmed that the use of pectolytic enzymes with cellulase, hemicellulase, β-glucanase activities increases the intensity of straw color and the appearance of body tones, but does not affect pinking. Such treatment contributed to a slight increase in the content of phenolic compounds in wine materials, but did not affect the content of anthocyanins and “pinking” susceptibility. Treatment of wine materials with complex PVPP-based agents including sor¬bents and flocculants, is an effec¬tive way to eliminate the “pink¬ing” phenomenon. This reduces “pinking” in wine materials from 70…90 % to 1…2 %. This is due to the presence of sorbents and floc¬culants in the fining agents, which react with phenolic substances that cause “pinking” in white wines, and remove them from the system. So, there are reasons to argue that processing grape at the end of tech¬nical ripeness will contribute to a lower “pinking” susceptibility of wine materials; pectolytic enzymes did not affect the appearance of this phenomenon in white wines, and PVPP-based fining agents together with bentonite, activated carbon, gelatin or casein, are an effective way to reduce the “pinking” sus¬ceptibility of wine.
