Ion Exchange Resins and Synthetic Adsorbents in Food Processing

The book reviews the use of ion exchange resins and synthetic adsorbents in food industries such as sugar (sucrose), monosaccharides (glucose, fructose, tagatose), polyols, oligosaccharides such as inulin, synthetic sweeteners such as sucralose, fruit juices (orange juice, apple juice, other fruit juices), milk whey, amino acids, organic acids (citric, lactic, malic acid), gelatin, glycerin, nutraceuticals (vitamins, polyphenols) and various other applications such as pectins and wine stabilization. The focus is on ion exchange rather than on food processing, it is therefore addressed to all those working in food processing industries or in parallel industries for whom ion exchange is not their primary field of experience.

Dr Emmanuel Zaganiaris obtained his PhD degree from Princeton University in 1970. He joined the Research Laboratories of Rohm and Haas Company in Spring House, Pa., before moving to Europe to join the European Laboratories of Rohm and Haas France. He was in charge of the technical support to customers, sales and marketing for the special applications of ion exchange resins. He retired in 2006 to become consultant.
