A study of retention of sugars in the process of clarification of pineapple juice (Ananas comosus, L. Merril) by micro- and ultra-filtration

Crossflow microfiltration of sugarcane juice: effects of processing conditions and juice quality

“…In order to obtain the best final permeate flux, the following independent variables were studied: pressure (P) (bar), tangential velocity (Vt) (m·s -1 ), and temperature (T) (°C), and their levels and codes are shown in Table 1. The values for the independent variables were chosen based on preliminary studies and data available in the literature for similar products, as proposed by Nogueira & Venturini Filho (2007) and Carvalho et al (2008). Moreover, technical limitations of the equipment and the microfiltration membrane were also respected.…”

“…According to Carvalho et al (2008), it is common for some of the product constituents to reduce during the clarification process using membranes, particularly those of higher molar mass such as pectin and starch. In general, it can be observed that the original sugarcane juice with passion fruit pulp and the microfiltered juice did not show significant differences (p > 0.05) in their composition.…”

Pina Soy: A New Drink with Desirable Organoleptic Characteristics

“…Pineapple juice is largely consumed around the world, mostly in the form of single strength, reconstituted or concentrated and in the blend composition to obtain new flavors in beverages and other products (De Carvalho et al, 2008). Pineapples are very rich in fibre which is effective for curing constipation as well as ease bowel movement; it is low in cholesterol and fat.…”

Effect of Pineapple Pulp on Sensory Quality and Shelf-life of Pineapple Cake

“…Pineapple contains nutrients which are good for human health, can used as a medicinal plantand a good source of Vitamin A, B and C (Sen et al,1980). Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain (protease) which has several therapeutic properties including malignant cell growth, thrombus formation, inflammation, control of diarrhoea, dermatological and skin debridement (Carvalho et al, 2008 andTochi et al, 2008). A Pineapple cake contains these elevated amount of calories than plane cake along with the elevated amount of micronutrients.…”
