Separation technologies and capabilities that support food and beverage manufacturers' current and future needs
Every day we facilitate farm to table solutions to help feed the world sustainably through our multi-tech separations technologies, strong expertise in concentration and purification, as well as knowledge of traditional and emerging food and beverage applications. Recognizing that food is tailored to regional taste preferences our ion exchange resins, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis solutions focus not only on taste but on human health, food safety, diet quality, regional crops and variety.
DuPont Water Solutions advances nutrition with sophisticated science-based technologies enabling the manufacturing of traditional caloric sweeteners and dairy products to plant-based proteins and healthy sugars. Food today is shifting from subsistence-based to protein-based diets and our comprehensive product line, technical expertise, and global reach can optimized even the most complex food and beverage manufacturing processes to meet the challenges of our changing diets and focus on healthier food choices.
Food and beverage subindustries
Improve process efficiency and purity
Sweeteners are an important part of the global food and beverage industry. With diverse sources and uses, they require a wide range of process technologies to manufacture. The higher the quality and consistency of your sweetener, the greater its value.
We are the leading supplier of products and technologies to produce sweeteners of the highest purity and enable the most cost-effective manufacturing processes.
Our solutions help you deliver high-quality sweeteners — beet sugar, cane sugar, high-fructose starch sweetener, and hydrogenated sugar — by addressing:
- Deashing (Products / Literature)
- Decolorization (Products / Literature)
- Chromatographic enrichment (Products / Literature)
- Cane sugar decolorization and processing (Products / Literature)
- Liquid sugar (Products / Literature)
- Polishing (Products / Literature)
- Enzyme immobilization (Products / Literature)
- Membrane-based sugar concentration & separation (Products / Literature)
- Waste brine recycling from decolorization (Products / Literature)
- Sucrose inversion (Products / Literature)
Get more from milk
On a global scale, milk is one of our most important forms of nutrition. It is a complex mixture of fats, proteins or caseins, minerals, enzymes, and carbohydrates in the form of lactose.
We provide solutions using both membrane and ion exchange technologies to help separate milk components and produce additional products such as cheeses, cultured milk, and whey proteins.
Our solutions address:
- Desalting (Products / Literature)
- Dewatering (Products / Literature)
- Milk and whey concentration (Products / Literature)
- Milk and whey demineralization (Products / Literature)
- Polishing (Products / Literature)
- Chromatographic enrichment (Products / Literature)
Improve nutritional quality and yield
Nutritionals, such as organic and amino acids, are components or derivatives of food products and have health benefits or value in the consumer market. These products are often extracted from whole foods such as green tea or fruit, or sometimes generated by fermentation.
We offer a wide range of membranes, adsorbents, and ion exchange resins to recover, isolate, and purify nutritional products, helping your facility achieve higher yield and consistent quality.
