Introduction
Membrane filtration in the ruit juice industry has grown rom anovel approach into a reliable and economically attractive standardunit operation. Membrane processing has been used or concentrating,
clariying/ractionating and/or puriying ruit juices and or enhancingprocess efficiency and profitability. Tis technique has provided anexcellent alternative or manuacturing high quality ruit juices undermore hygienic conditions. Microfiltration (MF) & ultrafiltration (UF)are cross flow filtration processes, which retain particles in a widerange rom 10,000 Da to 500,000 Da. MF and UF have been widelyused or clarification o ruit juices such as pear and apple. However,studies suggest that UF juices are more susceptible to post bottling haze(PBH) than traditionally clarified juices [1]. PBH is due to incompleteelimination o all potential haze precursors, products o polyphenoland protein interactions. Tis suggests that MF and UF, due to largepore size, are unable to retain all constituents and coloured compoundspotentially responsible or imparting haze and brown colour ormation.Te use o smaller pore size or NF membranes may overcome this
problem.Te borderline between UF and NF is not very distinct and overlaps
in the range o 1000 to 5000 Da. ypically, Nanofiltration (NF) is amembrane separation process likely to reject molecules in the rangeo 100-5000 Da. Tis molecular weight cut off (MWCO) range is veryimportant in the ruit juice processing industry because most o thepolyphenolic compounds in this range usually permeate through theUF membrane and are ofen associated with deects like browning andhaze ormation. Membrane filtration with MWCO between 1000-5000Da may be applied to retain majority o potential haze precursors,coloured organic compounds and at the same time allowing sugars andacids to pass through, which are major constituents o ruit juice. Figure1 illustrated the characteristics o MF, UF, NF and Loose NF according
to their MWCO.NF applications have been developing over the years and in coming
years may provide a convenient and economical way or decolourising
and stabilising ruit juices (pear and apple juice). Generally, problemsassociated with NF include low flux rate, high rejection o sugars andrequirement o a large membrane surace area. Tese problems havelargely contributed to its limited application on a commercial scale.However, NF applications in the ruit juice industries are still in thedevelopmental phase. A considerable amount o research needs tobe done beore juice manuacturers will accept NF as a suitable unitoperation.
Recent advances in membrane manuacturing processes haveresulted in the availability o thin film (polyamide) composite membranes(a thin film o polyamide is cast on a support layer, which is usuallypolysulone) in the molecular weight cut off (MWCO) ranges o 1000-

Abstract
This research explored the possible application of loose Nanoltration (NF) to enhance 19 stabil ity and shelf life
of pear juices. The results obtained from loose Nanoltration of sulte pre-treated (SPT) and sulphite un-treated pear
juices (SUT) showed similar patterns of decline in ux rate and increase in volume concentration ratio (VCR) over
time. The treated juice (loose NF permeate) showed a signicant (P< 0.05) increase in lightness (L*), improvement
from brownish tinge to clear light greenish tinge (a*) and an improvement in overall colour difference (Eab) values.
Additionally, loose NF permeates from SPT and SUT were much clearer than the control as indicated by 87-91%improvement in percent adsorption. Loose NF permeates compared to control showed only a minor increase in
the absorbance values when tested for stability at 80C. Such changes in the permeate characteristics indicated
signicant improvement juice quality. The retentate from loose NF revealed high sugar content (17-18Brix), was
dark brown in colour and contained more organic acids.

5000 MWCO. Tese thin film composite (FC) polyamide membranesare also least tolerant to chlorine, which is generally specified in termso ppm-hours [2]. raditionally, UF membranes are manuactured
by casting in a single layer, and these membranes have comparativelyhigher tolerance to chlorine. Tereore, to differentiate the membraneswith these characteristics, the term loose Nanofiltration has been usedin order to reflect a separate class NF membranes. Tese MWCO rangesmay suit special applications to overcome post bottling haze (PBH) inthe ruit juice processing industry.
In the dairy industry, spiral wound is the most popular membraneconfiguration. Spiral wound membranes are very economical becauseo low cost and small floor requirements compared to other designs.However, the spiral wound membrane design has not gained asignificant acceptance by the ruit juice industry because pressing juicescontains high levels o suspended solids that cause immediate ouling ospiral membranes. Furthermore, the presence o these suspended solids
poses difficulties in cleaning o these spiral membranes.
For streams with high levels o suspended solids, tubular designshave been more widely used in the juice industry because they canhandle fluids with high-suspended solids, have lower tendency to ouland can be cleaned easily. UF clarified pear juices contain little or nosuspended matter and could be successully used as a eed or a looseNF process.
Loose NF could be used as a secondary membrane process in spiralwound designs or decolourising and stabilising UF clarified ruit
juices. Additionally, the improved design o the mesh spacers in spiralwound membranes has allowed handling o fluids with high solublesolids, and thus providing higher turbulence, lower tendency to ouland easier to clean membrane. Te objective o the present study was
to investigate the effect o loose NF on the quality characteristics o UFclarified pear juice.
Materials and Methods
Pear juice
UF clarified pear juice samples with and without pre-treatment withsulfite (oxidation o mash) and concentrated to 70Brix were kindlyprovided by a local ruit juice manuacturing company in Victoria.Te concentrated pear juice samples that were sulfite pretreated (SP)
were diluted to 13Brix and 18Brix and reerred to as pear juice withsulfite (PJS) and partially concentrated pear juice with sulfite (PCPJS),respectively. Te concentrated and sulphite untreated (SU) pear juice
was diluted to 13Brix only and reerred to as pear juice without sulfite(PJWS). All these diluted pear juice samples were pumped throughthe loose NF pilot plant (Figure 2) in different batches, and permeatesamples rom each batch were collected.
Loose nanofiltration system
Loose Nanofiltration (NF) was perormed in batches using apilot plant (Filtration system, Getzville, NY, USA) fitted with a 5000MWCO spiral wound membrane (GM,Tin film composite Polyamidemembrane rom Osmonics, area: 0.353 m2), with a chlorine toleranceo 1000 ppm days and was operated at 50C and 1240 5 kPa averagepressure (Figure 2). As a batch operation, permeate was collected in aseparate tank and retentate was recirculated into the eed tank. Loose
NF operation was terminated when the permeate flux reached 15-20 L/m2/hr afer 150 min o operation or PJS and PJWS and afer 105 minor PCPJS. Tese trials were perormed in triplicate or each type o
juice (PJS, PJWS and PCPJS). Water and sucrose solution (12Brix)were passed through the loose NF pilot plant in order to test the systemoperation parameters and both flux and VCR were evaluated.
Cleaning of membranes
Membrane cleaning was carried out using various cleaning
solutions at 45-50C. Membranes were cleaned by flushing the system
with water until it became clear (~5 136 min), and circulating 0.3% o
U 11 (Ultrasil 11, sodium hydroxide, Ecolab, Australia) or 20 minutes
ollowed by water rinse until clear or the pH was 8. Tis process was
ollowed by circulating 0.6% o U 56 (Ultrasil 56, enzyme cleaner,
Ecolab, Australia) or 25 min and then by water rinse until clear or
the pH was 7. Sanitisation was carried out by circulating a solution o
0.3% U MP (Ultrasil MP, acidic product, Ecolab, Australia) or 10 min
ollowed by water rinse until clear or the pH was 7. Finally 0.15% o U
11 was circulated again or 10 min and rinsed with water until clear or
pH was 7-8 and the system was ready to be used again. Water flux o
150-175 L/m2/h indicated that the system was clean and ready to be
used again. In some o the experimental runs U 11 was replaced by Easy
Advantage (Mildly alkaline detergent, Ecolab, Australia) to study any
changes in the recovery o the original flux.
Measurements, sampling and analysis
Flux, inlet and outlet pressure and temperature on the loose NF
system were recorded at 15 min intervals. Volume concentration ratiowas calculated as the ratio o litres o eed to the litres o retentate atthat particular time. Average pressure was recorded as a mean o theinlet and outlet pressure during loose nanofiltration. Measurementswere recorded and samples were collected at 15 minute intervals untilthe nanofiltration was discontinued. Samples were stored at 20C orurther analysis.
Te membrane resistance (RM), total membrane resistance (R)and irreversible ouling resistance (RF) were calculated using theollowing equations [3]:
RM = [P/ ( J)] (Equation 1)
where,
RM = Resistance due to membrane
P = Average pressure

Te samples were analysed or pH, Brix, colour, clarity, titratable
acidity as described by Vivekanand et al. [4,5] Sugars (sucrose, glucose,
ructose, and sorbitol), organic acids (citric acid, malic acid and ascorbic
acid) and phenolic compounds (arbutin, 5-hydroxy methyl urural,
chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid and rutin) in pear juice
samples were determined ollowing the method o Vivekanand et al. [5]
A Brookfield LV viscometer at 60 rpm with a UL adapter (BrookfieldEngineering Laboratories Inc., Stoughton, MA, USA) was used to
measure the viscosity o pear juice at 20C.
Colour of loose NF permeate
Colour characteristics o permeate were measured afer dilutingpermeate to 12Brix, so that a comparison could be made at the sameconcentrations. Colour was measured directly and indirectly usinga spectrophotometer (Shimadzu UV-1601, Japan) and a minoltachromameter,(Minolta, Model CR-300, Japan)
Stability test
Stability tests were conducted on all juice samples (permeates and
concentrates). Te juice concentrate samples were diluted to 12Brixand 50 mL o this juice sample was heated to 80C in a water bath(Laboratory water bath, Australia). Absorbance readings were recordedusing a spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) at 425 nm afer 0,1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h o heat treatment.
Statistical analysis
A randomized split plot design was used in the study and all externalactors (juice samples, reezing, transportation and storage) were fixed.Each experiment was perormed in triplicate, and results rom analyseswere recorded in duplicate (except or HPLC analysis, which wasperormed using samples rom two experiments in duplicate). All theresults obtained were statistically analyzed using Statistical Package orSocial Science licensed through the University o Melbourne computer
network. Variations between and within treatments were evaluatedusing analysis o variance. Te means were separated using LSD at 95%confidence level.
Results and Discussion
Water flux
Te water flux o the loose NF membrane at different averagepressures and temperatures was determined (Figure 3). Te fluxincreased steadily with pressure. Higher temperature avoured higherflux rate o water. It has been stipulated that higher velocity o watermolecules at 50C was mostly due to the high shif in hydrogen bondswithin the water molecules thus reducing the viscosity.
Water flux is a measure o a membranes permeability when themembrane is new and there are no ouling materials present on thesurace o the membrane. Tereore, water flux provides a good estimateo the resistance offered by the membrane and thereore an indicationo how well the membrane has been cleaned.
Fluxes using sucrose solution
Most ruit juices have a soluble solids concentration in the rangeo 1222Brix, which are made up mainly o sugars [3] and to a smallextent o organic acids. Permeate flow rates o sugar solutions providean indication o the maximum attainable output o the filtered juiceunder ideal conditions i.e. no filtrable solids present. Te effect o
viscosity on the flux can also be estimated using such sugar solutions.
Sucrose solution (12Brix) was initially passed through themembrane using a batch operation to study its effect on operatingparameters (flux and volume concentration ratio) o the loosenanofiltration process. Te 12Brix sugar concentration was chosenbecause it could represent the common average soluble solidconcentration in most ruit juices. able 1 shows the effect on flux, VCRand sugar rejection during membrane filtration. Loose NF o sucrose
solution showed a sharp linear decrease in flux rate during the first 30min, ollowed by gradual and less severe decline in flux over the last 90min o the loose nanofiltration process. Te VCR increased two oldin the first 30 min and our old afer 120 min. Te concentration osugar increased to 13.5Brix in the retentate during the first 15 min

(contributed by the total soluble solids). Te decline in flux may beattributed to the sucrose membrane interactions and concentrationpolarisation at the membrane surace, thereby increasing the overallresistance and finally leading to membranes ouling.

glucose and sorbitol contents. Tere was a reduction o 10%, 8% and13% in the 364 Brix content o the PJS, PJWS and PCPJS, respectively.
Loose NF permeates (PJS and PJWS) showed significant (P
0.05)changes were noted or copper, sodium and potassium (able 7).
Colour of loose NF retentate:Visual examination o the retentaterom all three trials revealed dark brown colour and viscous texture. Teretentate had a very high amount o coloured compounds and thereorehad a high absorbance and dark colour (able 8). Dark colour o theretentate was mainly due to concentration o coloured compounds.
pH and titratable acidity in loose NF retentate: Loose NFretentate samples (able 9) showed a minor decrease in pH value anda significant (P 0.05) differences in the fluxrate and VCR trend over time o both pear juices (PJS and PJWS). Teloose NF permeate showed a significant (P 0.05) betweenthe three types o permeate. Additionally loose NF permeates rompear juice with sulur (PJS) and without sulur (PJWS) were clear asindicated by 85-90% reduction in % adsorption. Loose NF permeatesrom PJS and PJWS showed only 10% and 7.0% reduction in the Brixcontent, respectively. Tere were no significant (P>0.05) changes in thepH values; however, there was minor reduction in the titratable acidity.
Te decline in titratable acidity could be attributed to the decrease inboth, citric and ascorbic acids o the permeate as our results revealed.Permeate stability during storage at 20C showed a minor increase in
the absorbance values when tested or stability at 80C. Consequently,it was concluded that loose NF could improve quality o pear juicepermeate. Te retentate rom loose NF was dark brown in colour andhad more sugar content (18-20Brix) and more organic acids, whichcould be reused during clarification process (UF) to recover more othese sugars and organic acids.
