Separation Techniques for Food Industries

Description

Food plays a crucial role in every living organism's life whether it can be a human or animal. Though food is essential for surviving; it is necessary that one must intake healthy and clean food. Cleaning of food comprises of particles free items of food. Separation is the process through which we can remove unwanted particles and impurities that can harm us. Food is something that everybody takes to energize themselves from a baby to adult. Typically, Microfiltration (MF), Ultra-filtration (UF), Nano-filtration (NF), and Reverse Osmosis (RO) are commonly used pressure-driven membrane separation in the food processing. These types differ in membrane characteristics, pore size, and operating pressure This book “Separation Techniques for Food Industries” reviews methods and techniques for separating food components and products of the biotechnology industry. The introduction focuses on food composition and some of the conventional separation techniques. Subsequent chapters deal with each specific type or area of application individually and include information on the basic principles, industrial equipment available, commercial applications and an overview of research and development.
