We present a quantitative finite temperature analysis of a recent experiment with Bose-Fermi mixtures in optical lattices, in which the dependence of the coherence of bosons on the interspecies interaction was analyzed. Our theory reproduces the characteristics of this dependence and suggests that intrinsic temperature effects play an important role in these systems. Namely, under the assumption that the ramping up of the optical lattice is an isentropic process, adiabatic temperature changes of the mixture occur that depend on the interaction between bosons and fermions. Matching the entropy of two regimes-no lattice on the one hand and deep lattices on the other-allows us to compute the temperature in the lattice and the visibility of the quasimomentum distribution of the bosonic atoms, which we compare to the experiment.
