Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a perchlorate depleted milk based on nanofiltration of dairy raw materials. The invention further relates to methods for the preparation of an infant formula base using said perchlorate depleted milk. The invention also envisages a perchlorate depleted retentate fraction used to produce a perchlorate depleted milk and infant formula, an assortment comprising said formula and a system for the manufacture of an infant formula comprising a nanofiltration module.
Claims19
A process for the manufacture of a perchlorate depleted milk, comprising the steps of:
- a) subjecting perchlorate containing milk to a nanofiltration step to obtain a perchlorate depleted retentate fraction and a perchlorate containing permeate fraction of said milk, and
- b) evaluating a perchlorate content in said retentate fraction and/or said permeate fraction,
- wherein the nanofiltration step makes use of a nanofiltration membrane that has a molecular weight cut-off between 100 and 1000 Daltons.
