%X In this work Membrane Distillation is applied to concentrate orange Juice. Clarified orange juice (11.5o Brix) obtained from fresh fruits was subjected to membrane distillation. The experiments were performed on a flat sheet module using orange juice as feeds. The concentration was carried out in a direct contact membrane distillation using hydrophobic PTFE membrane of pore size 0.2 ¦Ìm and porosity 70%. The influences of the feed temperature, feed concentration, flow rate, operating time on the transmembrane flux were studied.
