ABSTRACT:
Citrus peels discharged from a juice extractor are first comminuted and thereafter the comminuted peels are screened to separate a larger particle size fraction consisting mainly of the flavedo portion of the peels and a smaller particle size fraction consisting mainly of the albedo portion of the peels. A preferred apparatus for separating peels into albedo and flavedo fractions includes a comminutor which utilizes a cutting action to reduce the peels to finely divided particles. Water is added to the comminutor to fluidize the peels so as to facilitate their movement through the comminutor and also to facilitate subsequent screening. The slurry of water and comminuted peels is sifted using a vibratory screen having an upper screen of a 20 Tyler mesh size to remove the flavedo fraction from the slurry and having a lower screen of a 60 Tyler mesh to separate the albedo fraction from the remaining slurry.
