摘要:
There are disclosed two types of apparatus using membrane extractions of citrus juice bittering agents, both using extraction fluids. In one type, a membrane contactor facilitates contact between bittering agents present in a citrus juice feed and a hydrophobic bittering agents extraction fluid; a second membrane contactor may be used to extract bittering agents from the hydrophobic extraction fluid by use of a basic stripping fluid on the permeate side. In a second type, an immobilized liquid membrane containing hydrophobic extraction fluid supported within the pores of a microporous hydrophobic polymeric membrane is used to facilitate transport of bittering agents across the membrane.
摘要:
Fruit, vegetable and meat products and their derivatives are exposed in liquid and/or gaseous form to a polyether-based polymer to extract ingredients therefrom. The products and derivatives may be for human consumption or may be in the effluent of a food-processing plant. A preferred embodiment is the treatment of grape juice and wine derived from labruscan grapes to extract unwanted color and flavor components.
摘要:
The method of making citrus juice resistant to flocculation on storage, which method comprises treating naturally turbid citrus juice having a pH below 2.5 with a pectinase of the polygalacturonase-pectinesterase type at a temperature below 30.degree. C. until the alcohol test for pectin is negative, and then decanting the flocculation-resistant supernatant juice after settling.
摘要:
This invention relates to a process for the clarification of juices and other similar beverages such as wine, beer, cider, etc. . . . which comprises a flotation stage. All known clarification processes used in the commercial production of beverages are discontinuous in that they rely on a sedimentation stage and/or require the use of expensive centrifugal equipment which require regular cleaning and maintenance. The use of the invention allows the commercial clarification of beverages without the necessity of going through a sedimentation stage or the use of centrifugal equipment. The process comprises three essential stages, i.e.: the formation of a flotable floc in the untreated beverage, the continuous introduction of the coagulated beverage in a flotation vessel, the flotation of the floc by microbubbles formed in the beverage and the continuous removal of the clarified beverage.
摘要:
A process for the obtention of fermentable powdered syrup and alpha-cellulose from xerophyte plants, particularly of the genus Amarillidaceae, such as Agave, comprises separately removing the plant material consisting of the leaf portions and the core portions of the plant; admixing and washing with water said plant material; chopping the washed plant material to form small pieces separating the plant material from its juices; subjecting the chopped material to an extraction process with an aqueous liquor expressing the residual solid plant material to expel the remaining enriched extractant therefrom; hydrolyzing the plant material from the expression step with water; further expressing said plant material to expel a hydrolysis liquor; admixing the plant juice and enriched extractant to obtain a mixed juice; settling and clarifying said mixed juices; heating the clarified mixed juices; concentrating the heated juice by evaporation; and spray drying the concentrated juice or syrup to obtain a fermentable powdered syrup suitable for further fermentation and distillation to manufacture alcoholic liquors such as ''''tequila''''; and digesting the plant material from said further expression to obtain a pulp; washing and bleaching the thus obtained cellulose pulp; and again washing, expressing, drying and screening the pulp to obtain an alpha-cellulose.
摘要:
A process for recovering volatile flavor compounds from citrus essence oils is disclosed. The concentrated flavor fraction is both anhydrous and water-soluble and is useful in imparting to citrus juices and other beverages a ''''fresh'''' flavoring without increasing oil or water content of these products.
摘要:
A process for clarifying raw juice in which the proportion of solids in the retentate circuit (2, 3, 4) of an ultrafiltration or microfiltration device (1) is sharply increased during the starting time (FIG. 1). With increasing proportion of solids, the filtration yield falls off sharply and then increases again to a value which is higher than the starting value. On reaching the maximum possible filtration yield value, the proportion of solids and thereby also the filtration yield is maintained constant by regulating the amount of retentate outflow or the amount of fresh juice to be fed in. In this way the filtration yield can be significantly improved.
摘要:
A low beverage soluble iron content filter aid, especially diatomite, is disclosed, as is the method for its production, which comprises contacting the granular filter aid with tannic acid, gallic acid, or mixtures thereof, preferable in aqueous solution. Color control agents such as citric acid may also be present in the solution. The treated filter diatomite is useful in the filtration of vegetable based beverages, especially beer, wine, ale and fruit juices. The invention is also applicable to other filter aids which contain beverage soluble iron, such as perlite.
摘要:
In a method for the clarification of fruit juice by treatment thereof with pectinase at a temperature between 35.degree. and 55.degree. C. and subsequent settling in the presence of gelatin and silica sol, the improvement wherein the settling is carried out at a temperature between 35.degree. and 55.degree. C.
摘要:
A process for the clarification of citrus juices is disclosed. Polygalacturonic acid is added to cloudy citrus juice. The resultant coagulated material is removed from solution leaving a clear liquid.
