Membrane separation for recovery of umami compounds: Review of current and recently developed membranes

The goal of this review was to determine the right membrane materials that were the current test to recovery of umami compounds as guidance for the future. Despite the fact that umami characteristic can influence effect too, the right membrane materials are still needed to understand to avoid increase resulting in fouling during membrane processes or better control of membrane fouling. The results from this study showed for the last 20 years of 18 articles suggested that the major of membrane materials to separate umami compounds which are in hydrolyzed of protein or peptides or as a free amino acid such as glutamic, aspartic or glycine still used conventional pressure-driven filtration membrane. The membrane materials were used such as PES, polyamide and cellulose acetate. We discuss the three membrane materials. The study concludes that membrane materials such as thin-film composite polyamide (PA-TFC) have been promising to the recovery of umami compounds. © 2020, Dorma Journals. All rights reserved.
