Abstract

Membrane technologies are being used extensively in food processing because they improve the process efficiency as well quality of end product. Microfiltration is one of these most important process in food and beverage industry for separation and purification. Along with a unique pressure driven separation process, microfiltration membranes provide the removal of suspended solids, bacteria and colloids from your product while preserving valuable nutrients and flavors. Microfiltration is extensively used in the food industry, examples being clarification of juices and stabilization from dairies or better safety as inactivating spoilage bacteria and longer shelf life for beverages. In general, this incorporation of microfiltration in food treatment represents a major innovation for the production sector to achieve high quality transparent and sustainable products based on rising industrial trends towards efficiency aspects along with environmental concerns. The implementation of membrane technology and its integration with other emerging technologies like enzymatic biocatalysis and MBRs provides new pathway for process optimization & innovation. This integrated approaches are useful for increasing the efficiency and sustainability of food processing. In the future, with a quest for sustainability in all industries including food and beverage manufacturing / processing is an inevitable need of this day.
