What is a membrane? A membrane can be considered as a selective barrier or as an interface between two phases Phase 1 Membrane Phase 2
How does it work? The process needs a driving force ΔC: Dialysis, Forward Osmosis ΔP: MF, UF, NF, RO ΔT: Membrane Distillation ΔE: Electro dialysis Phase 1 Membrane Phase 2
Osmotic pressure Forward Osmosis Reverse osmosis Pressure C 1 C 0 Salt water Membrane Water
Basic of characterizing membranes Porous Membranes are classified in two groups: Porous (MF and UF) Nonporous (NF and RO) and two types of characterization methods: Structure-related parameters Permeation-related parameters

Lactose free milk
The lactose free market is growing Only one-third of the population can digest milk http://www.foodbeast.com/2012/11/21/map-of-milk-consumption-lactose-intolerance-around-the-world/ http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-08/infographic-day-where-people-can-digest-milk
Lactose Reduced Milk Production Key step - Hydrolysis Lactase enzyme Hydrolysis into monosaccharides 87% 4,1% 3,4% 4,9% 0,7% Fat Protein Lactose Salts Water Lactose Glucose Galactose One molecule of galactose and one molecule of glucose is much sweeter than one molecule of lactose Residual Lactose < 1 % in hydrolysed lactose reduced milk Residual Lactose < 0,05 % in filtered + hydrolysed lactose free milk

Low investment concept Addition of potable water Lowest investment Usage of potable water needs to be declared on the package Dependancy on water quality
Lactose Free Milk Production Staying closer to original milk composition Focus on taste closer to original milk composition Calcium-protein ratio close to original milk Recovery of salts from UF retentate NF-retentate (by-product). Further UF separation can produce UF permeate for skim standardization and Protein concentrate for yoghurt & baby food

Koncentrert yoghurt
Protein hitter øget fokus på ernæring Stenalderkost Dukan kuren Protein kuren Low carb Høj protein diæten
Protein hitter øget fokus på ernæring Yoghurt naturel udfordres af skyr (Smag og Behag, juni 2012) Protein hitter blandt danskerne (Arla Foods, My news desk, juni 2013) Fokus på protein (L & F, januar 2014) Fedtfattig og fyldt med protein: Vikingernes yoghurt er ikke til at slå ned (Politiken, oktober 2013) Forbrugerne er vilde med fedtfattige proteinbomber (Mejeri, juni 2013)
Produkter i Danmark med højt protein indhold
Målrettet markedsføring - USA 11 % protein 0 % fedt
Typiske protein- og fedtindhold Skyr % Kvark % Greek style % Protein 10-11 12 5,5-9 Fedt 0,2 0,2-1 0,1-10 Bekendtgørelse om mejeriprodukter (BEK nr 2 af 04/01/2013) stiller ikke krav til protein- og fedtindhold i produkterne
Traditionel fremstilling af koncentrerede produkter Koncentrering ved hhv. afdræning eller centrifuge Syrnede produkter med højt proteinindhold kan også fremstilles ved tilsætning af proteinpulver
Ultra Filtrering flere muligheder Koncentrering af mælk inden syrning Fx ymer & hvid ost Fordel: valle kan anvendes til mælkepulver Koncentrering af mælk efter syrning Fx Greek style yoghurt, skyr & kvarg Begrænset anvendelighed af valle Kombineret - forkoncentrering til fx 5 % protein efterfølgende koncentrering til 11 % protein
Ultra Filtrering flere muligheder Keramik Spiral Plate & frame

Fordele ved Ultra Filtrering Stabil proces Mulighed for håndtering af forskellige produkter på samme anlæg (varierende fedt- og tørstofindhold) Øget udbytte som følge af valleproteiner Forbedret konsistens Forbedrede sensoriske egenskaber (oplevelse af øget fedtindhold, glattere struktur og midre tørhed)
Ernæringsmæssige fordele ved Ultra Filtrering Næringsværdi Æg 100 Kasein 77 Valle 104 Ved anvendelse af UF inkluderes valleproteiner i færdigvaren, og herved øges ernæringsværdien
