摘要:This work had as objective the obtention of clarified passion fruit juice by using the
microfiltration technique. A step of enzymatic treatment was introduced before
microfiltration, aiming to enhance process efficiency by reduction of viscosity and
pulp content of the juice. Three different hidrolytic enzymes were tested in three
concentration levels. The results didnt demonstrate significant differences in Brix,
pH and acidity of the hidrolyzed juice samples in relation to the concentrated juice.
Positive effect was observed in the action of the enzymes in the reduction of
viscosity and pulp content. The microfiltration was realized in a tubular membrane
system with average size of the pore equivalent to 0.3 m and transmembrane
pressure of 1.5 bar. The permeate juice was clear, free from pulp and with good
micribiological quality. Such results proved the efficiency of microfiltration for
clarification and stabilization of fruit juices.
