Improvement of the Quality of Edible Carrageenan by Carrageenan Concentration by Membrane System in Industrial Production
In the course of industrial carrageenan production, adopting the equipment for concentration by membrane system will help to improve the quality of edible carrageenan, including the increase in product viscosity, the reduction in ash, and the reduced content of potassium ion to 800PPM below. Especially in the microbiological index, the total number of bacteria ≤5000 cfu/g, completely complies with the provisions of United States FAO/WHO, 2001 standard.
