Food applications & Engineering
Food grade ion exchange, adsorbent and chromatographic resins comply with American FDA and European APF97 regulations.
FRUIT JUICES: Decolorization, demineralization, acidification and removal of heavy metals (apple juice, dates, carob, pineapple, pomegranate, etc.).
GRAPE JUICES AND WINES: demineralization of grape juice, decolorization, removal of iron and heavy metals, production of extracts of anthocyanins and tannins from grape skins, production of proanthocyanidins from grape seeds, acidification of musts and wines, purification of tartaric acid.
CITRUS JUICES AND DERIVATIVES: Debittering, decolorization, production of flavonoid extracts, deacidification, purification of pectins.
NATURAL EXTRACTS: production of polyphenols (anthocyanins) from blueberries and elderberries, apple juice, peach juice, artichoke, grapes, citrus fruits, dates, production of punicalangina from pomegranate peel.
AGRO-INDUSTRIAL RESIDUES: recovery of sugars, fibres and polyphenols.
SUGARS: Softening, decolorization and demineralization of sucrose. Glucose fructose separation, sucrose inversion, purification of fructoligosaccharides.
