The nature of the haze-active protein (HAP) in apple juice was investigated. Heat treatment removed protein indiscriminately while polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) treatment was fairly specific for proteins of 15 and 28 kDa. Presumably, the PVPP bound to polyphenols, which in turn were complexed with protein. Three candidate apple HAPs were isolated. Two were extracted from juice with acetone and fractionated by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and solid phase extraction with C18 (HAP 1) or SAX (HAP 11) material. Hydroxyproline-rich protein was extracted from apple tissue (HAP 111). The order of haze formation with tannic acid was gliadin > HAP III > HAP II > HAP I > bovine serum albumin, which shows increasing haze formation with increasing proline content. The sizes of HAP I, II, and III were 28, 15, and 12 kDa; the first two corresponded to the sizes of proteins removed by PVPP treatment and are involved in juice haze formation.
