Recovery and concentration of flavor compounds from an apple essence (x 500) was attempted by pervaporation using a silicone rubber (polydimethylsiloxane) membrane at room temperature. the flavor components were identified by GC‐MS method, and the ratio of concentration of the flavor compound in the permeate to that in the feed was determined for each component. It was found that pervaporation is indeed an effective measure for the above purpose. Concentration ratios above 20 were achieved for flavor components with boiling points lower than 100°C.
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.
