Apple juice can improve body function, prevent heart disease and arteriosclerosis, and promote food digestion. Therefore, it is welcomed by people. Traditional juice factories use traditional processes such as diatomaceous earth or centrifuges, which can ensure the clarity of the filtrate, but because bacterial microorganisms are difficult to filter out, the shelf life of the product is not long, and the turbidity and precipitation of the juice are prone to occur. In the treatment process, filter aids and clarifiers need to be added, and the consumption of filtration consumables and clarifiers is large. Now, the use of membrane separation technology can effectively solve the problems of traditional processes. Today, the editor of Shandong Bona Group will introduce the application of membrane separation technology in the clarification and filtration of apple juice.
Based on the selection and sieving principle of polymer membrane materials, BONA completely intercepts macromolecular impurities such as plant fibers, starch, and bacteria in apple juice at the molecular level invisible to the naked eye. The filtrate is clear and has high light transmittance. Anti-turbidity, no "secondary precipitation" occurs, cross-flow operation solves the problem of filter blockage, design online regeneration cleaning and sewage device, reduce labor intensity and production cost, and improve production efficiency.
Apple juice ultrafiltration membrane separation technology process:
Apple juice pressing→pretreatment→centrifugation→ultrafiltration membrane filtration→clear juice→membrane concentration→sterilization→storage
Advantages of ultrafiltration membrane separation technology for apple juice:
1. High molecular-grade filtration precision, which can effectively remove macromolecular impurities such as starch, tanning, and fiber, and improve product quality;
2. The membrane system has a long service life, good recovery performance, strong anti-microbial contamination ability, and can maintain a high permeation flux and retention rate for a long time;
3. Membrane separation is a physical process without phase change, which can effectively retain the original living active substances, nutrition and original aroma in the juice;
4. The system has low energy consumption, low operating cost, easy operation and maintenance, which can greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers;
5. The system adopts 304 or 316L sanitary material, which meets the requirements of QS and GMP.
