Preparation and Properties of the Novel Adsorbent Agent for Juices Clarification

Abstract:

A solid adsorbent was made from bentonite and chitosan which can be used to clarification of apple juices.Chitosan loading rate on bentonite was up to 31.6% at 400 °C. Effects of important variables, such as the amount of adsorbents, pH value of juice, reaction time and temperature, etc., were investigated for analyzing the clarification effects. The optimum condition is as follows: the amount of absorbents 10 g · L^-1, a duration period of 4 mins at temperature 25 °C, and transmittance of more than 80%.
