Applications of osmotic distillation in food and wine processing: the critical points, their weaknesses and the potentialities

Abstract

In this work some application of Osmotic Distillation are reviewed discussed. The first application concerns the concentration of juices at room temperature by using downstream the membrane a mixture with low water activity, so that water vapour diffuses across the gas membrane. The second one concern the wine quality improvement by alcohol level adjustment or by the volatile acidity removal. Finally the production of low alcohol wines, or alcohol free wine is discussed
