Area of Expertise
Bucher Unipektin has the expertise for the development, design, and manufacture of
ion-exchange and adsorption polymer based processes for the fruit juice and other
food industries.
Other areas of expertise are specialist water treatment applications such as
deionisation, nitrate removal and iron removal.
Bucher Unipektin is independent of resin manufacturers, allowing the optimal resin
to be chosen for each application.
We will contract research processes specific to individual customer needs.

Adsorption Process
In an adsorption process the product is contacted with an adsorbent polymer
resin in a fixed bed. The polymer adsorbs the component to be removed by
physical interactions (London and van der Waals forces). No components
from the resin are released into the product.
When the polymer’s capacity to adsorb is exhausted the product is displaced
from the column. The polymer is regenerated and prepared for the next
process cycle.
Adsorption Principle
Ion-Exchange Process
In an ion-exchange process the product is contacted with ion-exchange
resins. Mineral and organic ions in the product are exchanged onto the
ion-exchange resin. Cations are exchanged onto cation exchange resin
and anions are exchanged onto anion exchange resin.
When the resins capacity to exchange ions is exhausted the product is
displaced from the column. The resins are regenerated and prepared for
the next process cycle.

Systems for Clear Products
Clarified products are treated in fixed beds. Resin remains in the vessel during
the complete processing and resin regeneration cycle. Traces of haze are
removed during a fluidising step.
System for Clear Juice
Systems for Cloudy Products
Bucher Unipektin has developed a unique process for treatment of nonfiltered
juices containing up to one percent of pulp. Any particles retained in the
resin bed during processing are removed by transferring the resin through a
unique washing process prior to regeneration. This provides a long and
consistent resin service life.
Primarily developed for the treatment of full cloud, low pulp citrus juices
this process is now used in a variety of resin processes for hazy or cloudy
products.
System for Cloudy Juice
Both system types can comprise several vessels or trains providing continuous operation and/or treatment with different resins.
Cloudy Juice Applications
The cloudy juice systems are mainly used for upgrading citrus juices and
by-products, e.g. peel extracts.
The following processes have been successfully developed and commercialised:
• Debittering of orange juice: limonin reduction to below taste threshold
(< 5 ppm)
• Bitterness reduction of grapefruit (reduction of naringin)
• Debittering and astringency reduction for flavour enhancement of citrus peel
extracts and whole fruit comminutes.
• Debittering of WESOS
• Acid reduction or ratio adjustment
• Reduction of browning in lemon juice
• Debittering of tropical juices, such as Mango
Feed material to be pulp reduced to 1% or less “spin down” or “bottom” pulp.

Clear Juice Applications
The clear juice systems are used for a broad range of applications, typically
for upgrading the sensory properties and haze stability of juices or the
manufacture of valuable products from waste material.
The following processes have been successfully developed and commercialised:
• Stabilisation to prevent haze formation of apple, pear and grape juice
• Colour reduction and standardisation of apple and pear juice
• Patulin reduction of apple and pear juice
• Hesperidin reduction to prevent haze formation of lemon juice
• Reduction of browning in lemon juice
• Deionisation of juices and extracts from processing and cannery wastes to
produce clear fruit sugar syrups
• Acidity standardisation
• Recovery of anthocyanins and other bio-active components from juices
and waste streams

Process Development
Laboratory Bucher Unipektin operates a well equipped laboratory. In-depth
research and verification of techniques and materials is completed to a
high standard at bench-scale. Results are used to design processes to suit
customer requirements.
Additional analytical tools are available nearby at government and university
research facilities.
Research work is also undertaken with customers on a contractual and confidential basis.
Pilot Plants Once a process is established in the laboratory further testing, process proving and development can be carried out at the customer’s site using
one of our versatile pilot plants.
Research Success Bucher Unipektin has developed many processes using ionexchange and adsorbent polymer technology.
Examples include:
• Extraction of anthocyanins as natural colourants from juice or pomace:
aronia, elderberry, grape, black carrot
• Extraction of phenolic components useful as antioxidants (bio-actives)
• Purification of gelatine
• Recovery of limonoid glucosides
• Recovery of herbal extracts
• Extraction/purification of nutraceuticals
