Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membranes are an important technology in advancing efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability in the food industry. This Special Issue aims to bring together high-quality research and innovative perspectives that address recent developments in membrane applications for food processing.
We invite researchers and industry professionals to submit original research articles and review papers covering topics such as pressure-driven membrane processes, membrane distillation, concentration and fractionation of bioactive compounds, process optimization, scale-up challenges, and sustainable approaches.
This Special Issue of Membranes aims to highlight scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations that contribute to the modernization and sustainability of food processing and more.
We look forward to receiving your submission.
Prof. Dr. Katia Rezzadori
