FRACTIONATION OF MONO-AND DISACCHARIDES BY NANO-AND DIAFILTRATION

摘要

The importance of filtration is a rising aspect of food processing. E.g. microfiltration is applied to remove microorganisms, ultrafiltration to enrich proteins and reverse osmosis for concentration instead of evaporation. Nanofiltration is already in use to reduce minerals e. g. desalination of molasses. In this special case, the solution-diffusion-behavior of the substances in the membrane material becomes more and more important with decreasing difference in size.
