New Membrane Methods to Extract Lactose From Waste Dairy Streams

世界各地的乳制品加工商每年生产约1.45亿吨液体乳清。乳糖是奶酪乳清的主要成分，对乳制品加工企业造成了严重的污染问题。这个链接奖申请的目的是开发有选择性地提取乳糖的膜。这就需要制备通过膜运输乳糖的膜载体。从饲料流中分离和纯化乳糖的新方法和新技术的发展可能会导致生产纯化乳糖或新乳糖产品的工艺得到改进。

Dairy processors throughout the world produce about 145,000,000 t of liquid whey per year. Lactose, the principle component in cheese whey, contributes a significant pollution problem for dairy processors. The aim of this Linkage Award application is to develop membranes that selectively extract the lactose. This requires the preparation of membrane carriers that transport the lactose through the membrane. The development of new approaches and technologies for the isolation and purification of lactose from feed streams may lead to improved processes for manufacture of purified lactose or new lactose products.
