Hydrolysis in a Tangential Flow Filter EnzymaticMembrane Reactor

Hydrolysis of whey proteins in enzymatic membrane reactors is a promising technology. Dr Cheison provides a compulsive read in this monograph which covers experimental design and optimisation of experiments. Apart from immense savings on the enzyme as well as the favourable conditions for optimal enzyme kinetics due to the continuous removal of the nuisance of product inhibitors, enzymatic membrane reactor technology in is dogged by a setback in rapid flux declines and lower productivity. The influence of the hydrolysis mixture temperature, the hydrodynamic properties like recirculation speed and the influence of the enzyme of membrane co-detergence are covered in a manner not covered before. This monograph calls the research community to revisit the set-backs of membrane flux declines by optimising the role of the enzyme and hydrodynamics in membrane cleaning.
