The general applicability of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis in the dairy industry is reviewed. Consideration is given to the problems of hygienic design and operation of membrane systems, particularly from the point of view of cleanability and sanitation. Recent technological advances which may accelerate acceptance of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis as unit operations in the dairy industry are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
