Abstract
Separation of perilla anthocyanins from sodium chloride in spent pickling brine was investigated using diafiltration (DF) and electrodialysis (ED). An ultrafiltration (UF) membrane of nominal molecular weight cut-off of 2000 daltons was used for DF because of its satisfactory permselectivity for separating the pigment and salt. At an added-water volume to original feed ratio of 4, constant-volume diafiltration (CVDF) removed 95% of the salt, and sequential dilution diafiltration (SDDF) removed 87% of the salt from the brine. Both processes recovered more than 90% of the anthocyanins. During ED, increasing current density increased the salt removal rate, but also increased the power consumption and decreased the current efficiency. The ED process could remove 90% of the sodium chloride while recovering 86% of the anthocyanins from the spent brine. ? 1989.
