forward osmosis activities
Ederna’s evapEOs® technology for cold concentration of Food & Beverage ingredients utilizes both reverse osmosis and forward osmosis processes. In addition, the company has developed a patented forward osmosis draw solution for Food & Beverage applications.
Ederna has demonstrated that their cold concentration technology ensures total preservation of concentrates (e.g. coffee, bergamot juice, strawberry juice, melon juice, passion fruit juice, and sour cherry juice) up to 60°Brix as opposed to traditional evaporation technologies where the elevated temperature results in degradation of aromas, flavors, and other thermo-labile components. In addition, the evapEOs® technology 5x less energy-consuming than single-effect evaporator and 10x less energy-consuming than spray-drying.
