Zero entries on Google or Duck Duck Go, therefore I have come to the conclusion there is likely no such word. I have found one article on using plant based proteins as a flocculant with bentonite.

But it looks to be a study on juice vs wine.

ScottLabs has an article on bentonite:

https://scottlab.com/bentonite-clarification-heat-protein-stabilization
But this involves using the bentonite to capture proteins and drop them out of suspension.

FWIW - Quite a few of us have quit using flocculants at all, with the thought (backed by some testing) that flavor is improved by not using them.

I read this article, but like you I searched over never heard of such a thing.
