Fining experiments have been conducted on mulberry wine, in which five fining agents (bentonite, gelatin, casein, egg albumin and PVPP) were investigated. The effect of these agents on polyphenol content, colour intensity, antioxidant activity and aromatic profile has been determined. In general, all treatments improved the limpidity of the mulberry wines to some extent. The wine was mostly negatively affected by gelatin and led to the greatest reduction of phenol content (16.61%), colour intensity (32.26%) and antioxidant activity. Concerning aroma, the addition of PVPP, casein and bentonite both significantly altered the aroma profile. It is noteworthy that egg albumin led to the lowest diminution total phenol value (5.74%) and improvement of antioxidant capacity and colour among the tested fining agents. Furthermore, the aroma profile remained mostly unaffected by egg albumin. As consequence, the optimal fining agent for mulberry wine was egg albumin.
