Sweeteners - Natural and Artificial
To achieve satisfactory and consistent quality, many natural and synthetic sweeteners require purification, to remove color, undesirable taste and odor, and turbidity.
Ecosorb® Multifunctional Adsorbents are more effective at removing many of these contaminants than powdered activated carbon (PAC). Ecosorb products are a family of moist, dust-free powders with excellent filtration characteristics.
Benefits of Ecosorb adsorbents versus traditional PAC include:
 |
Reduced dosages required due to the superior adsorbent capacity of Ecosorb products |
|
|
Elimination of diatomaceous earth body feed generally required when filtering PAC |
|
|
Reduced solid waste generation (50-90% reduction is typical) |
|
|
Ability to run either as a slurry addition followed by filtration, or as a precoat operation, where adsorption is achieved as feed stock passes through an Ecosorb precoated filter |
|
|
Ability to remove contaminants that PAC will not remove |
Typical applications include:
|
Reducing color, taste, odor and turbidity in liquid sugar and bottling syrups |
|
|
Cane sugar refining to reduce color, odor and turbidity prior to crystallization |
|
|
Beet sugar decolorization |
|
|
Reducing color, taste, odor and turbidity in HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) |
|
|
Reducing color, taste and odor in sorbitol, mannitol, and other natural and artificial sweeteners |
|
Reducing color in maple syrup |
|
Reclaiming scrap sugars |
