Excessive sugar intake has become a global health hazard in modern diets. Excessive consumption of refined sugars such as sucrose and fructose syrup not only leads to obesity and tooth decay, but also increases the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even certain cancers. People are health conscious and are looking for healthier alternatives to sugar. Siraitia grosvenorii , as a natural sweetener, is also gradually receiving favor.
Siraitia grosvenorii Extract
Siraitia grosvenorii, also known as “Fruit of the Immortals” and known as the Fruit of the Orient, is a traditional Chinese medicine and a source of natural sweetener. The main component of its extract is mogrosides, a natural non-sugar sweetener that can be more than 300 times sweeter than sucrose, but produces almost no calories and does not cause blood sugar fluctuations.
Advantages of siraitia grosvenorii:
1.Natural and healthy: as a plant extract, it meets the modern consumers' pursuit of clean labels, without chemical synthesis, safe and reliable.
2. Zero calorie: It is the best sugar substitute for diabetics and dieters.
3. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory: Studies have shown that mogrosides has certain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which helps to boost immunity.
4. Widely used: It can be used in beverages, food, health products and even medicines to replace artificial sweeteners.
However, the production of siraitia grosvenorii extract is not an easy task. Traditional extraction processes (e.g. hot water extraction, alcohol precipitation, etc.) often face problems such as low efficiency, high impurities and easy destruction of active ingredients. This requires more advanced technologies to optimize the extraction process and ensure the high quality and functionality of the extract.

Application of ceramic membrane filtration in siraitia grosvenorii extract
Ceramic membrane filtration is a physical filtration technology based on precision aperture separation, the core of which is a membrane element made of inorganic ceramic material, which is characterized by high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. The range of filtration precision is usually microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF), which can be selected according to the molecular weight of the target components.
In the extraction process of siraitia grosvenorii, ceramic membrane filtration is mainly used to separate the macromolecular impurities in the extract while retaining the target active ingredients.
1. Pre-treatment: After crushing, hot water or solvent extraction of siraitia grosvenorii, the crude extract is obtained, which contains mogrosides, polysaccharides, proteins, pectin and other components.
2. Ceramic membrane filtration: the crude extract enters the ceramic membrane system, the ultrafiltration membrane can retain the large molecule impurities, so that the mogrosides through the membrane into the filtrate.
3. Post-treatment: The filtrate is further concentrated (such as NF or RO) and dried to obtain high purity siraitia grosvenorii extract powder.

Direct benefits brought by this technology:
1. Enhance product quality: after removing impurities, the sweetness of the extract is purer, free of impurities and lighter in color, which is suitable for high-end foods and beverages.
2. Increase yield: Reduce the loss of target ingredients through precise interception.
3. Shorten the process chain: replace the traditional steps of centrifugation and alcohol precipitation to simplify the production process.
4. Compliance with standards: help products meet international food safety and purity requirements
The modern health industry is developing rapidly, and the market demand for siraitia grosvenorii extract continues to grow. Ceramic membrane filtration technology, as an efficient and green means of separation, is not only applicable to siraitia grosvenorii, but can also be extended to the purification of other plant extracts. In the future, combined with the Internet of Things and intelligent control, the ceramic membrane system will further realize precision and automation, injecting more technological power into the natural products industry.
