Filtration rate and resistance are affected by the operations prior to filtration in fruit juice production lines. In this research, the effects of depectinization and clarification on filtration resistance and rate were evaluated. Filtration studies on raw juice, depectinized juice and depectinized plus clarified juice were compared It was observed that pretreatments reduce the resistance considerably.
