Grape sugar

COEI-1-SUCRAI Grape sugar (rectified concentrated grape musts)

  1. Objective, origin and scope of application

Grape sugar is obtained exclusively from grape musts.  The addition of grape sugar to wine is subject to regulation.

The label, or, when this is absent, the documentation accompanying the containers of grape sugar, must cite the sugar percentage.

Cation exchange resins

COEI-1-RESECA Cation exchange resins

  1. Objective, origin and scope of application

Ion exchange is the reversible exchange of ions between a liquid and a solid, during the course of which the solid does not undergo any substantial changes.  When this technique is applied to wine, the solid is an insoluble, permeable synthetic resin capable of exchanging ions with the wine with which it is in contact.

Protein plant origin

COEI-1-PROVEG Protein plant origin from wheat, peas and potatoes

  1. Object, origin and field of application

The plant protein matter described in this monograph is extracted from wheat (Triticum vulgaris), peas (Pisum sativum), or potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). It is mainly made up of proteins and may contain, as minority constituents, carbohydrates (fibres, starch, sugars), fats and minerals.
