Molecular Distillation in The Food Industry

TOPTION is a well-known manufacturer of extraction and distillation equipment, with a strong reputation for producing and selling molecular distillation equipment. Their equipment has been used in engineering production facilities across the globe. Molecular distillation is a process that separates liquid mixtures based on differences in boiling points, with the advantage of operating at lower temperatures than traditional distillation methods.

Distillation is an essential operation in the food industry, gaining increased recognition for its importance. However, traditional vacuum distillation methods may not be suitable for separating heat-sensitive substances and high-purity ingredients from food products. In such cases, molecular distillation is the preferred method. This process makes it easy to separate, concentrate, and purify commercially valuable food ingredients by varying the average free range and distance between the heating and condensing surfaces, allowing light molecules to reach the condensing surface almost without collision, reducing heating time. Additionally, molecular distillation removes health-damaging ingredients and organic contaminants, resulting in healthier food products.
Molecular distillation has numerous applications in the food industry, such as the concentration and purification of honey, capsaicin extraction, and rice bran oil purification. Honey concentration is a necessary processing procedure for bee products, and traditional distillation methods do not apply to honey, which is a highly viscous and heat-sensitive substance. The molecular distillation method overcomes these defects by removing impure odors, solvent residues, and impurities, increasing honey concentration, removing excess water, and improving the quality of propolis. This is beneficial for industries that use honey in food and medical applications.

The honey propolis obtained after purification is of high value in the food industry. Fermenting honey with water and yeast produces honey-fermented wine, which is high in nutritional value and has few impurities, with a different aroma and taste than traditional brewing. Molecularly distilled honey can also be dehydrated and used in the medical industry to solve the problem of diabetic patients not being able to consume honey directly, allowing them to lower their blood lipids and promote microcirculation.
Molecular distillation technology is also employed in the production of essential oils and flavorings used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. This method allows manufacturers to obtain pure and concentrated essential oils from plant materials, preserving their natural properties and providing high-quality ingredients for various.
