Food & Beverage

In Synder’s experience supplying the food and beverage industries, we’ve found that these industries are marked by both continuity and change.  While we’ve helped companies optimize their existing processes, Synder prides itself in partnering with food and beverage companies to forge new and innovative ways to supply consumers with quality products. Synder is not only committed to helping these industries develop their new products and processes, but is consistently reducing their operating costs along the way.  

A FEW OF OUR COMMON APPLICATIONS
Corn Wet Milling 
Many filtration steps are required in the wet milling of corn. Synder’s membranes, ranging from Micro to Nanofiltration, are capable of handling any of your application needs. From the removal of microorganisms to the concentration and clarification of corn syrup, Synder’s comprehensive line of membranes is ready to exceed your expectations. 

Gelatin Concentration
Concentration of suspended colloids is critical in the production of gelatin. Synder’s Ultra & Microfiltration membranes provide optimal retention rates for concentrating gelatin while removing unwanted microorganisms. 

Juice Processing 
Ultra & Nanofiltration are widely used in the production of high quality juices. Synder Filtration’s line of Ultra and Nanofiltration membranes can remove starch, pectin, proteins, and polyphenolic compounds. Microfiltration can also be utilized for the removal of microorganisms. 

Natural Polymers & Xanthan Gum 
Synder’s Micro and Ultrafiltration membranes are ideal for concentration of natural polymers. MF and UF filtration are required in the production of Xanthan gum. Synder’s MF and UF membranes provide an optimal combination of retention rates and throughput required for commercial production while removing harmful microorganisms. 

Dealcoholization 
Traditional methods of manufacturing non-alcoholic beer require the wort to be processed in a way that doesn’t leave much room for imparting flavor. Instead of making a non-alcoholic beer why not remove the alcohol from regular beer, thus providing a non-alcoholic beer with much of the flavor of a regular draft? Synder’s NFX Nanofiltration membrane is capable of concentrating and removing alcohol efficiently with minimal effect to the flavor profile. 

Maple Syrup 
Maple syrup production from maple sap is a time and energy consuming process that requires the sap to be reduced down to thick syrup. Conventional boiling reduction methods are tedious and use significant energy. Concentrating the sap using the NFX Nanofiltration membrane by Synder can reduce overall processing time and operating costs.

Fragrance Recovery 
Synder Filtrations NFX Nanofiltration membranes can be used to concentrate aroma compounds to manufacture natural & artificial fragrances. NFX captures and concentrates alcohols, aldehydes, amines, esters, ethers, keytones & terpenes.
