Cellulose acetate membrane filtration effect on particle size distribution of golden delicious apple juice: Experimental validation of a simulation model

Juice clarification through membranes is becoming an important technology due to its capacity keep high quality and sensorial characteristics. In the process, particle size of feed pore membrane give information about characteristics stabilization filtered juice. this work we present application a previously reported novel computational simulation used describe two apple juice filtration systems. Experimental data on Golden Delicious (GD) after different pre-filtration treatments was obtained effect distribution studied. The experimental compared results in which final mean juices determined by distribution. error simulated values <10% therefore model valid as first attempt provide criteria for selection could be scaled other
