Abstract
The invention concerns a method for selectively separating, according to size, fat globules present in food or biological medium, which consists in subjecting the medium to be treated to at least tangential flow microfiltration with a cut-point threshold ranging between 1.8 and 10 μm in substantially uniform transmembrane differential pressure and in recuperating the resulting concentrate and permeate.
Claims7
A process for selectively separating according to their size the fat globules present in a food or biological medium comprising subjecting the medium to be treated to at least a tangential micro-filtration on a membrane with a cut-point threshold between 1.8 and 10 μm under substantially uniform transmembrane pressure conditions and recovering the so-obtained retentate and permeate.
