Abstract:
Fruit juice is an essential food product that has received significant acceptance among consumers. Harmonized concentration, preservation of nutritional constituents, and heat-responsive sensorial of fruit juices are demanding topics in food processing. Membrane separation is a promising technology to concentrate juice at minimal pressure and temperatures with excellent potential application in food industries from an economical, stable, and standard operation view. Microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) have also interested fruit industries owing to the increasing demand for reduced pressure-driven membranes. UF and MF membranes are widely applied in concentrating, clarifying, and purifying various edible products. However, the rising challenge in membrane technology is the fouling propensity which undermines the membrane\'s performance and lifespan. This review succinctly provides a clear and innovative view of the various controlling factors that could undermine the membrane performance during fruit juice clarification and concentration regarding its selectivity and permeance. In this article, various strategies for mitigating fouling anomalies during fruit juice processing using membranes, along with research opportunities, have been discussed. This concise review is anticipated to inspire a new research platform for developing an integrated approach for the next-generation membrane processes for efficient fruit juice clarification.
摘要:
果汁是一种重要的食品,已经得到消费者的广泛认可。协调浓度,营养成分的保存,和果汁的热响应感觉是食品加工中要求很高的主题。膜分离是一种很有前途的技术,可以在最小的压力和温度下浓缩果汁,在食品工业中具有出色的潜在应用,稳定,和标准操作视图。由于对减压驱动膜的需求不断增加,微滤(MF)和超滤(UF)也对水果工业感兴趣。UF和MF膜广泛应用于浓缩,澄清,净化各种可食用产品。然而,膜技术中不断上升的挑战是污染倾向,它破坏了膜的性能和寿命。这篇综述简洁地提供了一个清晰而创新的观点,这些因素可能会破坏果汁澄清和浓缩过程中膜的选择性和渗透性。在这篇文章中,使用膜减轻果汁加工过程中结垢异常的各种策略,加上研究机会,已经讨论过了。这篇简明的评论预计将激发一个新的研究平台,用于开发下一代膜工艺的集成方法,以实现有效的果汁澄清。
