ENTIRELY AUTOMATED GLUCOSE MONITORING-SYSTEM BASED ON A FLOW-INJECTION ANALYSIS APPARATUS

A process for waste whey treatment, fully based on membrane technologies, has been studied and developed in a pilot plant scale, with the aim to recover chemicals from farm wastes (fats, whey proteins, lactose, salts and water). This process, described in its essential steps, includes a hollow fiber membrane reactor for the hydrolysis of lactose with an immobilized beta-galactosidase.
