Since the approval in 2019 of the use of high-power ultrasound (US) in winemaking to support extractive processes from grape to must, the study of this technology in red winemaking has increased significantly, with laboratory and semi-industrial scale studies.
In view of sustainability and zero-waste initiatives, the valorisation of sidestreams is a key emerging topic in the wine industry.
White wines contain macromolecules such as proteins, phenolic compounds and polysaccharides. On a sensory
level, these compounds contribute to the 'mouthfeel' that differentiates the white wines worldwide [1].
