Hyperfiltration Technology for Recovery and Utilization of Protein Materials in Surimi Process Waters

摘要

The report details the first of a three-phase project to develop processes for the recovery of surimi wash water proteins. Two ultrafiltration units, a plate and frame system and a tube in shell system, were tested for surimi protein recovery. Precipitation of surimi proteins by denaturation was also studied. The tube in shell system was less affected by feed side fouling and is therefore recommended. Details of findings for these studies are provided with the report.
