Exploring sustainable membrane strategies for producing concentrated juice enriched of health-promoting compounds from red fruits

In this work, sustainable processes based on the combina􀆟on of conven􀆟onal and innova􀆟ve membrane techniques including ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and osmotic distillation (OD), in a sequential design, were studied for the production of concentrated juices with a high nutritional profile and improved antioxidant capacity, from two selected red fruit juices: pomegranate and a blend of pomegranate, cactus pear juice and red orange juices.
