Study on the Factors Affecting the Separation of Protein from Sugarcane Juice by Low Temperature Air Flotation
The removal of protein in sugarcane juice was carried out by the single-factor experiments.Results showed that under the conditions of the floatation separation of protein in sugarcane juice were as follows:the concentration of solids in sugarcane juice 16.5°Bx,the velocity of airflow 60 mL/min,the flocculation dose to cane juice 1mg/kg,the phosphate dose to sugarcane juice 450 mg/kg,pH 7.5,air float duration 6 min,with over 96.9%of the protein removed from the sugarcane juice.The temperature effect study showed that air floating at higher temperature was beneficial to the enrichment and removal of protein in sugarcane juice.Which make foundation for practical application in the future.
