The addition of a coagulant salt in the UF treatment of an o/w emulsion modifies in a great extent the physicochemical properties of the oil droplets and, therefore, the electrostatic interactions among them. As a result, phenomena such as coalescence, gel layer formation, permeate flux reduction, m

The selected membrane was able to significantly reduce the concentration of species that negatively affect the quality of the product, such as NaCl, while ions with high nutritional value, such as Ca2+, were recovered in the process. Protein and lactose losses were observed to be negligible as well.
