The present invention provides for compositions comprising poly N-vinyl pyrrolidone (PVPP) with improved capability to remove polyphenols, methods of producing and using the same. Producing the PVPP with improved capability to remove polyphenols may comprise adding a quantity of hydrogen peroxide to a composition comprising the PVPP, mixing the hydrogen peroxide and the composition comprising the PVPP and removing from the mixture, the PVPP with improved capability to remove polyphenols. The PVPP with improved capability to remove polyphenols may be useful for reducing the formation of colloidal haze in beverages such as beer.
