Herbal Tea Production by UF Membrane Filtration Tech
Background Introduction
Liangcha is prepared by extracting Chinese medicinal herbs with cold properties that clear internal body heat. It can eliminate summer internal heat and relieve sore throats caused by dryness in winter, making it widely popular among consumers. Since Liangcha is extracted from Chinese medicinal herbs, the original Liangcha liquid contains numerous impurities including plant fibers, proteins, starch, colloids, tannins and other substances. These impurities lead to low clarity, poor taste and short shelf life of Liangcha. Therefore, the filtration process is crucial in Liangcha production.
Defects of Traditional Liangcha Filtration Tech
Traditional Liangcha filtration methods mainly include plate and frame filtration, diatomaceous earth filtration and centrifugal filtration. Due to low filtration accuracy, these methods cannot completely remove insoluble impurities in Liangcha. Although they can achieve short-term clarification with poor light transmittance, the impurities will re-polymerize under the influence of time, temperature and electric charge, forming visible substances and causing turbidity and precipitation of Liangcha.
