Topic description
The use of different membranes in the food industry is increasingly common. The filtration membranes produced by Amer-Sil (Luxembourg) were recently modified by covering them with an ionic layer thus allowing demineralization in a manner similar to conventional membranes and at a tenth of the price. Hence, this project is part of a vast research project aiming a valuation of bio-food co-products and the development of eco-efficient processes (VITALE Consortium), through innovative and sustainable approaches based on electromembrane processes.
The objectives of this project are:
1) Formulate filtration membranes (MFs) with a controlled zeta potential from formulations controlled by the industrial partner Amer-Sil and analyze the physicochemical properties;
2) Perform peptide separation tests by electrodialysis with filtration membrane (EDMF) on a model hydrolyzate and characterize the peptide fractions obtained;
3) Optimize the formulations of MFs and test in EDMF on a larger scale;
4) Characterize the fractions obtained and validate the in-vitro bioactivities (antimicrobial, anti-hypertensive, anti-diabetes and antioxidant).
