DEF

A chemical compound which appears under the form of a colorless or yellowish, syrupy, odorless, hygroscopic liquid, is miscible with water, alcohol, glycerol and furfural, insoluble in chloroform, petroleum ether and carbon disulfide, is partially converted to lactic anhydride when concentrated above 50%, has one asymmetric carbon and two enantiomorphic isomers, is derived by fermenting starch, milk whey, molasses, potatoes, etc. and neutralizing the acid as soon as formed with calcium or zinc carbonate, after which the solution of lactates is concentrated and decomposed with sulfuric acid, also synthetically by hydrolysis of lactonitrile, and is used in cultured dairy products, as an acidulant, in chemicals(salts, plasticizers, adhesives, pharmaceuticals), as a mordant in dyeing wool, as a general-purpose food additive and in the manufacture of lactates.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

Removal of suspended particulate material from a solution. It may be a necessary part of either pre-or post-fermentation processing of feed solutions or product streams : for example, where byproducts of food processing, such as molasses, are used as feed... Removal of particulate material may be necessary to reduce the solids load passing through the system, in order to reduce fouling of heat exchangers in particular, to increase the purity of the final product, to remove potential inhibitory materials or to recover a desired product.

CONT

The methods of clarification include gravity sedimentation, centrifugal sedimentation, filtration, and magnetic separation. Clarification differs from other applications of these mechanical separation techniques by the low solid content of the suspension to be clarified (usually less than 0.2%) and the substantial completion of the particle removal.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
DEF

Opération consistant à rendre limpide un liquide qui contient des particules en suspension. (Pour ce faire, on utilise la filtration, la fermentation, la chaleur, des résines échangeuses d'ions, des matières englobantes ou adsorbantes.)
