Sugar Starch Clarification

This technical brief covers how Scepter can be applied to natural sweeteners in food and beverage products.

Starch sugars are natural sweeteners derived from starch used in various industries like food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and bioprocessing. The process involves extracting starch from raw materials like corn, wheat, sorghum, and cassava, followed by several steps to produce starch syrups. Effective filtration is crucial in the manufacturing process to ensure a high-quality and economical final product. Traditional filtration methods like vacuum drum filters and press filters have limitations in removing impurities efficiently. Crossflow membrane filtration has become a popular choice in the starch and sweetener industry due to its superior filtration capabilities, reduced product loss, easy maintenance, and cost-effectiveness. The SCEPTER crossflow microfiltration and ultrafiltration products offer a robust technology with titanium dioxide membrane coating, making it suitable for challenging clarification applications. The design of SCEPTER systems allows for scalability and adaptability to various system configurations, making it a versatile and efficient solution for processing starch syrups.
