Organic Acid Purification

Organic acid purification for food and beverage products encompasses lactic and citric acid purification. They serve as an additive and preservative in food and beverage applications.

Applications
The main applications of ion exchange resins in organic acid purification are chromatographic separation and demineralization. For chromatographic separation, ion exchange resins purify the filtered organic acid broth by removal of residual sugars and salts. In demineralization applications, strong acid cation resins convert mineral salts to mineral acids whereas weak base anion resins remove the mineral acids by displacing the more weakly held organic acids that are adsorbed onto the sites.
