Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of ultrafiltration (UF) process variables on permeate flux and membrane resistance and to clarify apple vinegar for quality improvement. Apple vinegar was clarified in a laboratory ultrafiltration system with hollow fiber membrane made of polysulfone and MWCO 30,000 and 10,000. The permeate flux increased with the increase of flow rate and the optimum pressure was 1.5 kgf/㎠ in this system. The turbidity of clarified apple vinegar treated UF largely decreased. pH and acidity of treated samples showed the same level as those of untreated apple vinegar. The permeate flux continuously declined while the fouling material accumulated on the membrane as the operation time increased. Resistance decreased with lower pressure, which could be explained by expansion of pore size at lower pressure and minor compaction of the polarized layer at lower pressure.
