Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of producing a sugar liquid, includes filtering a cellulose-derived sugar liquid through one or more separation membranes selected from the group consisting of ultrafiltration membranes, nanofiltration membranes and reverse osmosis membranes, and washing the separation membrane(s) after filtration with warm water at a temperature of not less than 50° C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing a sugar liquid, comprising: filtering a cellulose-derived sugar liquid through one or more separation membranes selected from the group consisting of ultrafiltration membranes, nanofiltration membranes and reverse osmosis membranes, and washing the separation membrane(s) after filtration with warm water at a temperature of 50 to 90° C., wherein said warm water comprises one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of ferulamide, coumaric acid, ferulic acid, coumaramide and vanillin. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said warm water further comprises at least one of HMF and furfural. 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said warm water is a filtrate obtained by passing a cellulose-derived sugar liquid through a nanofiltration membrane(s) and/or reverse osmosis membrane(s). 4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the temperature of said warm water is 75 to 90° C. 5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said cellulose-derived sugar liquid is a cellulose-derived sugar liquid previously filtered through a microfiltration membrane(s). 6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the pH of said warm water is 9 to 12. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said warm water is a filtrate obtained by passing a cellulose-derived sugar liquid through a nanofiltration membrane(s) and/or reverse osmosis membrane(s). 8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the temperature of said warm water is 75 to 90° C. 9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the pH of said warm water is 9 to 12. 10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature of said warm water is 75 to 90° C. 11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein said cellulose-derived sugar liquid is a cellulose-derived sugar liquid previously filtered through a microfiltration membrane(s). 12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the pH of said warm water is 9 to 12. 13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said cellulose-derived sugar liquid is a cellulose-derived sugar liquid previously filtered through a microfiltration membrane(s). 14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the pH of said warm water is 9 to 12. 15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pH of said warm water is 9 to 12. 16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said warm water comprises one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of coumaric acid, ferulic acid, coumaramide, ferulamide and vanillin at a total concentration of 500 to 10,000 ppm.
