Understanding the pathways for irreversible aggregate clusters formation in concentrated sugarcane juice derived from the membrane clarification process

Concentrated sugarcane juice (CSJ) is considered as one of the healthy sugar products, and so a potential feedstock in beverage formulations soft drinks. However, irreversible aggregates, which are unattractive to customer, found with CSJ derived from membrane filtration during storage. This study examined formation aggregates concentration CSJ, The process for goes by 3 stages, polysaccharides interacting phenolics then proteins form complexes bind non-covalently SiO2. For stored inorganic compounds (mainly SiO2) were main constituents accounting 43.14 % (w/w), followed proteins, phenolics, polysaccharides, organic acids, lipids. results obtained CSJ/NCS indicate that interact flocs co-precipitate SiO2 calcium salts. polishing multifunctional adsorbent combination could be prospective approach solve haze/aggregation problems associated further promotes their application formulations.
