Ultrafiltration to Increase the Consistency of Fruit Pulps: The Role of Permeate Flux
Fulvia Chiampo
Abstract:Ultrafiltration is a well-known operation, widely used in food processing, especially to concentrate selectively liquid compounds. However, so far, it has been mainly used to change concentration and/or clarify liquids with low viscosity. Ultrafiltration has seldomly been applied to viscous fluids. In this study, it was used to increase the consistency of fruit pulps, without changing their taste and organoleptic properties. This paper reports the findings achieved in experimental runs carried out on a pilot p… Show more
