Food industry applications

Chitosan is used as a livestock and fish feed additive, as a non-absorbable carrier for certain dyes and nutrients used in food preparation and also in enzyme and live cell immobilization [170].

While most perfumers employ raw citrus or petitgrain oils for usage in fragrance applications (solubility in alcoholic fragrances is sufficient and no thermal stress is required for fragrance applications), the usage of concentrated citrus oils is often called for in the food industry. Applications in beverages and foods require more sophisticated properties as far as solubility and stability are concerned.

The analysis (separation, identification, and quantitation) of lipid classes from total lipid extracts is of prime importance in many food industry applications. While the chemical and chromatographic approaches outlined are elegant, well-established, and robust, they are relatively time-consuming and rely on separate stages of separation, identification, and quantitation. 

A definite advantage of freeze crystallization, important in many food industry applications, is that volatile flavour components that are normally lost during conventional evaporation can be retained in a freeze-concentrated product. In fact, at present, freeze crystallization finds its main application in the food industry, for the concentration of fruit juices, etc. Indirect-contact freezing processes are normally used, e.g. the liquid feedstock is crystallized in a scraped-surface heat exchanger (section 8.2.2) and the resulting ice slurry passes to a wash column where the crystals are separated and washed to recover valuable product. The wash column is the key item in the process. Figure 8.56 shows an example of the Grenco system of freeze crystallization. 

For any waste which is produced carrying an oily liquid as well as water, then the oil can be recovered separately from the water and the suspended solids, by the use of the three-phase decanter. This will occur especially in the oil refining and blending processes, but also in several food industry applications. The treatment of refinery slop oils is an important decanter application.

CYSSnBiM is a proprietary alloy known as Waukesha 88 (trademark of Waukesha Foimdry). Tin and bismuth are added as solid metal lubricants for improved galling resistance. It is primarily used in the food industry to prevent galling against SST. Weld repairs are prohibited. It is not as corrosion-resistant as other nickel-based alloys however, it performs well in food-industry applications. 

Food industry applications are confectionery, baking, fruit processing, composed foods, alcoholic beverages, soft drinks.The per-capita consumption of g in the USA (1997/98) was 9.4 kg. Pharmaceutical industry applications are medicated confectioneries, carriers and soft sweeteners for liquid medicines, coatings and binders for pills. The world production of g. in x 10 mt (1997/98) was 9.4 (USA 5.85, EU 1.9, Japan 0.85, others 0.8). There is generally a rising trend, caused by nonfood uses, mainly for antibiotics and chemicals via biotechnology.
