The Advantages of Inorganic Ceramic Membrane in Food and Beverage Industry

Inorganic ceramic membrane has many advantages, such as high separation efficiency, stable effect, good chemical stability, acid and alkali resistance, organic solvent resistance, bacteria resistance, high temperature resistance, pollution resistance, high mechanical strength, good regeneration performance, simple separation process, low energy consumption, simple operation and maintenance, long service life and so on. It has been successfully applied to food, beverage, plant (drug) deep processing, biomedicine, fermentation Fine chemical industry and many other fields.

1. The Application of Juice Processing

The application of ceramic membrane technology can solve a large number of bacteria produced in the processing process with green and scientific methods. Compared with traditional methods, ceramic membrane technology can significantly reduce the turbidity and the total number of bacteria in fruit juice, and the operation process is simple and environment-friendly. Ultrafiltration ceramic can also concentrate fruit juice without changing its original flavor and keep the clear appearance of fruit juice.

2. The Application of Clearing Tea Beverage Impurities

Ceramic membrane separation technology can effectively remove most of the macromolecular substances such as protein, pectin and starch in tea juice, while the content of tea polyphenols, amino acids, catechins and caffeine has little loss. Alcohol insoluble substances (AIS) can be removed by 38% - 70%, increasing the transparency by 92% - 95%. The appearance of tea juice is clear and transparent, the taste is good, and the tea juice is not easy to secondary turbidity and deterioration.

3. The Application in Dairy Production

Compared with reverse osmosis membrane and ultrafiltration membrane, ceramic membrane has a wide range of raw materials, so the price will be more affordable and the cost performance will be relatively high in the production process of dairy products. The ceramic membrane has high mechanical strength, and it is not easy to deform even when working under a large pressure difference. Especially under the condition of high pressure recoil, it can maintain stable operation. Moreover, the ceramic membrane is very high temperature resistant and can work in a high temperature environment below 1000 degrees, which is in line with the dairy production environment.
