The safety, hygiene and non-toxicity of food is a long-term trend that people have been pursuing, and ion exchange resin plays an important role in this aspect, so the application of resins in the food industry will become more and more extensive, and the requirements for resins will become more and more stringent.

 

In the food industry, ion exchange resin can be used for water treatment, softening, de-alkalization, etc. In the sugar industry, it can be used for decolorization, deashing, demineralization of sugar liquids, and removal of many kinds of organic matter such as high molecular weight pigments, dyes, and pesticides; In the juice industry, it can remove the heavy metal ions and nitrate ions in the juice, and it can also be used for decolorizing, demineralizing, dedusting and purifying the juice, removing the patulin, pesticides and other residues in the juice, deacidifying, improving the color value and light transmittance, and ensuring the stability of the color value of the treated juice. In the citric acid and lactic acid industry, it can be used to extract citric acid and lactic acid from fermentation broth; in the dairy industry, it can be used for whey desalination, whey protein recovery, etc.; in the brewing industry, it can be used for decolorizing beer fermentation broth and removing high fatty acid in liquor, etc..
