WOBURN, Mass., Nov. 4, 2025/ PRNewswire/– ZwitterCo, an international leader in membrane services for challenging liquid separations, today revealed that its Development Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Protein Concentration Membrane (PCM) items are now FDA-compliant for whey and milk processing. This turning point broadens the Development portfolio’s regulative reach throughout food and dairy applications, signing up with the business’s FDA-compliant Development SF membranes.
The Development household of membranes, constructed from ZwitterCo’s innovative zwitterionic chemistry, provides anti-fouling efficiency that withstands irreparable fouling– even in high-solids environments typical to dairy processing. For processors of whey, milk, and other high protein streams, this suggests greater performance, much shorter cleansing programs, and lowered chemical & & water usage — providing processors more of what matters most: time.
” Over the previous 3 years, over a lots food and dairy processors evaluated ZwitterCo membranes in the laboratory and showed their extraordinary cleanability compared to traditional membranes,” stated ZwitterCo’s VP of Food Processing & & Specialties, Jon Goodman “With FDA compliance, it is now ‘Go time’ for installing them in production systems.”
ZwitterCo’s Development SF, PCM, and RO membranes are presently in usage and under assessment throughout several dairy processing applications. At a big whey processor, Development SF membranes accomplished greater flux than traditional PES UF membranes in whey protein isolate (WPI) production, while an Advancement RO setup lowered cleaning-related water intake by over 40%, equating to over 1 million gallons of freshwater conserved in the very first 10 months of operation.
With FDA compliance now developed, food and dairy makers can with confidence incorporate Development RO and PCM membranes into whey protein concentration, skim milk concentration and water reuse systems. ZwitterCo is pursuing European accreditation under Policy (EC) No 1935/2004 with a target for conclusion in 2026. The business is likewise pursuing a detailed suite of extra accreditations, consisting of:
- Halal
- Kosher
- 3-A Sanitary Requirement 45-03
- USDA
While that procedure is underway, ZwitterCo’s FDA-compliant membranes are currently commercially readily available and preferably fit for screening and recognition in food and dairy applications, permitting processors to benchmark efficiency ahead of European approval.
This FDA turning point enhances ZwitterCo’s dedication to assisting food and dairy processors take full advantage of uptime and performance. By making it possible for much shorter, easier cleansing programs and more dependable membrane efficiency, Development membranes offer processors what they require most– time.
