Optimization of Removal of D-Trehalose from Commercial Food Colorant by Diafiltration with Ultrafiltration Membranes

A dia-ultrafiltration process for purification of phycocyanin-based solutions is presented. The aim of the process is to remove additives present in a commercial food colorant, mainly D-trehalose. Optimization of parameters such as molecular weight cut-off, initial concentration of feed, process tem...
