Isolation of a peptidic fraction from the goat cheese water-soluble extract by nanofiltration for sensory evaluation studies
1997
Abstract The effect of the small water-soluble peptides on the taste of cheeses has not been clarified yet because of the high difficulties to isolate them from the other water-soluble compounds. A new filtration method, nanofiltration, using ionizable membranes, allowed us to purify a peptidic fraction prepared from the permeate obtained by ultrafiltration (MWCO=1000) of a goat cheese water-soluble extract. A large proportion of mineral salts and a part of amino acids were eliminated from the nanofiltration retentate where a majority of small peptides were concentrated. The peptidic fraction was incorporated in a cheese model with known synergistic effectors such as mineral salts and amino…
Hybrid processes coupling photocatalysis and membranes for degradation of organic pollutants in water
2002
Abstract Tests of degradation in a photocatalytic membrane system with the lamp immersed in the suspension inside the photoreactor have been carried out by using polycrystalline TiO2 (Degussa P25) as catalyst and humic acids, organic dyes, 4-nitrophenol as pollutants. The influence of the type of nanofiltration membrane, initial concentration of pollutant and pH on the photodegradation rate was investigated in discontinuous and continuous configurations. Two membranes were tested, i.e. NF-PES-010 (Celgard, Germany) of polyethersulphone and NTR-7410 (Nitto-Denko, Japan) of sulphonated polyethersulphone. The last one was chosen for all of the photoreactivity experiments because permeability a…
Heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceuticals in water by using polycrystalline TiO2 and a nanofiltration membrane reactor
2006
Abstract A study of the photodegradation of different pharmaceuticals [furosemide, ranitidine (hydrochloride), ofloxacine, phenazone, naproxen, carbamazepine and clofibric acid] in aqueous medium at various pHs by using a batch photoreactor and a photocatalytic membrane reactor working in recirculation regime was carried out. Polycrystalline TiO 2 was used as the photocatalyst, and different membranes (NTR 7410, PAN GKSS HV3/T, N 30 F, NF PES 10) were tested. A different adsorption of the substrates onto the catalyst surface was observed owing to the hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of the catalyst, depending on the pH. The photodegradation of the seven molecules in the batch reactor was s…
