Specification for carboxymethyl cellulose ion exchange resin

(a) This specification relates to regenerated cellulose, cross-linked and alkylated with epichlorohydrin and propylene oxide, then derivatised with carboxymethyl groups whereby the amount of epichlorohydrin plus propylene oxide does not exceed 70% by weight of the starting quantity of cellulose.

(b) The resins are limited to use in aqueous process streams for the isolation and purification of protein concentrates and isolates. The pH range for the resins shall be no less than 2 and no more than 10, and the temperatures of water and food passing through the resin bed shall not exceed 40°C.

(c) When subjected to the extraction regime listed in the CFR Title 21 part 173.25(e)(4), but using dilute hydrochloric acid at pH2 in place of 5% acetic acid, the ion exchange resins shall result in no more than 25ppm of organic extractives.

Specification for quaternary amine cellulose ion exchange resin

(a) This specification relates to regenerated cellulose, cross-linked and alkylated with epichlorohydrin and propylene oxide, then derivatised with quaternary amine groups whereby the amount of epichlorohydrin plus propylene oxide does not exceed 250% by weight of the starting quantity of cellulose.

(b) The resins are limited to use in aqueous process streams for the isolation and purification of protein concentrates and isolates. The pH range for the resins shall be no less than 2 and no more than 10, and the temperatures of water and food passing through the resin bed shall not exceed 50°C.

(c) When subjected to the extraction regime listed in the CFR Title 21 part 173.25(c)(4), but using dilute hydrochloric acid at pH2 in place of 5% acetic acid, the ion exchange resins result in no more than 25ppm of organic extractives.

Specification for diethyl aminoethyl cellulose ion exchange resin

(a) This specification relates to:

(i) Regenerated cellulose, cross-linked and alkylated with epichlorohydrin and propylene oxide, then derivatised with tertiary amine groups whereby the amount of epichlorohydrin plus propylene oxide does not exceed 70% by weight of the starting quantity of cellulose; and
