Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of membrane technology in the food industry surged in the 1980s. Today, the food segment ranks as the second-largest global membrane market, following water and wastewater treatment. This growth is driven by increased demand for food and beverages, the high product purity set by numerous companies, and the versatile applications of membrane technology across various sectors.
This Special Issue of Membranes invites submissions on membrane technology in food processing. We encourage original contributions encompassing theoretical and experimental insights and reviews on recent advancements in membrane operations and integrated systems within food production (such as fruit juices, beverages, milk, wine, beer, vegetable oils, and more); the production of innovative and functional foods obtained as a result of membrane processes; membrane separation processes focusing on food industry environmentally friendly processes; and more.
