A pilot plant system for dealcoholizing wine using solid carbon dioxide snow was evaluated. Wines were stripped of alcohol content by spraying them over solid phase CO 2 . Gas leaving the solid-liquid contact zone carried ethanol which was recovered by condensation. White wine lost alcohol easier than red wine and some higher alcohols were removed at levels which paralleled ethanol removal. Other solutes remained at about the same levels as in the untreated wine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
