Summary
Pomegranate juice has a turbid appearance, which poses difficulties in its concentration process. Membrane clarification can be used to clarify pomegranate juice; however, membrane fouling reduces the permeate flux, limiting its effectiveness. Ultrasound at 30 kHz was used to reduce membrane fouling. Results were compared with the data obtained for membrane clarification without ultrasonic treatment at the same temperature. Results showed that permeate flux increased with ultrasonic treatment. Evaluation of different membrane fouling characteristics showed that the total membrane resistance fell due to the reduction in irreversible fouling and cake resistance. However, ultrasound did not affect the thick caking produced in membrane processing at low feed‐flow rates. Evaluation of the physicochemical properties of pomegranate juice showed that ultrasound can decrease antioxidant activity due to the reduction in total anthocyanin content. Also, total soluble solid content and acidity of pomegranate juice changed with ultrasonic treatment.
