The membrane can be defined essentially as a barrier, which separates two phases and restricts transport of various chemicals in a selective manner. In some cases, especially in anatomy, membrane may refer to a thin film that is primarily a separating structure rather than a selective barrier. Ultra filtration has been demonstrated as a potential technology to separate the sugar from their mixtures and can be applied to remove sugars from juice. Ultrafiltration (UF) is basically a pressure-driven separation process, governed by a screening principle and dependent on particle size. The filtration studies are going to carry with the aim of retaining the solids except the sugars compounds present in juice as well as maximizing the flux. The aim is to develop a process for the direct production of sulphur-free, refined quality sugar without going through conventional sugar refining. The objectives of present work to study effects of various parameters such as pressure, concentration, selected membranes, on permeate flux and retention characteristics & flux decline analysis.
