Abstract

The goal of this review was to determine the right membrane materials that were the current test to recovery of umami compounds

as guidance for the future. Despite the fact that umami characteristic can influence effect too, the right membrane materials are still

needed to understand to avoid increase resulting in fouling during membrane processes or better control of membrane fouling. The

results from this study showed for the last 20 years of 18 articles suggested that the major of membrane materials to separate umami

compounds which are in hydrolyzed of protein or peptides or as a free amino acid such as glutamic, aspartic or glycine still used

We discuss the three membrane materials. The study concludes that membrane materials such as thin-film composite polyamide (PA-

TFC) have been promising to the recovery of umami compounds.

Membrane technology is one of the future separation

methods in which technologies are predicted to be used in

industries worldwide. The membrane can replace conventional

chemical treatments and also clarifiers using heavy equipment

that leads to high operating costs and associated with

environmental problems. Even though it cannot completely

replace conventional treatment technologies and be a stand-

alone treatment option (1). Now many techniques of

membrane separation have been developed from conventional

to modern; pressure-driven, electrodialysis or liquid

membranes could be combined.

One of the varieties of membrane separation techniques

can be characterized by their membrane pore size (2).

Generally, membranes use the principle of molecular size and

pore size distribution to separate different materials even (3)

other factors also play a role such as electrostatic, molecular

or chemical properties of the sample (4).

phytochemicals are different than that for pure water.

The separation of chemical compounds for different

applications has become an important industrial operation.

Considerable progress continues to be made in membrane

technology, and newer applications for existing systems are

being discovered as the trend is to create integrated systems

that utilize several different types of the membrane within a

process. Aware of the fact that membrane separations have

great potential, many scientists are dealing with their

depends on the application objective, however commonly used

membranes are commercially available. This review was

performed to evaluate the disadvantage and advantages of

membrane materials to recovery umami in the proposed

scheme or to improve the membrane separation technique that

was done.

This review will discuss and focus just only on membrane

umami compounds are still less discussed. The industrials used

membrane technology were fixed and existed, such as the

sugar industry (22) and dairy industry (23), but the membrane

which compatible with umami compounds is still being

discovered and proved by research. To obtain the fixed

membranes it is still needed a review of the literature in a

thesis, dissertation or research paper as a short guide.

The main objectives of this review focus on obtaining the

type of membrane materials which can be used to separation

of umami compounds from foods or by-products. This is an

early review of membrane processes separation of umami

compounds. Moreover, studies that led to the development of

novel raw materials to umami production are still needed.

.1 Overview of Umami

Generally, umami well known as a flavor enhancer was

used in seasoning mainly in Asia in MSG form. Umami was

the fifth basic taste in human which feel as savory, brothy and

meaty (18). The main chemical compounds contributed to

umami were glutamic acid, although a lot of chemical

compounds were in synergy, such as 5’-nucleotides mainly

IMP, GMP and AMP (30,31,32). Purwayantie et al. have

proved that in Albertisia papuana Becc (26). contains the 5’-

nucleotides. In addition, it is has been proved by Chaudhari et

al., that one of the receptors for umami in humans

(T1R1+T1R3) is activated by a broad range of amino acids and

of rich in umami compounds (26). Other raw materials such as

tea leaves (27) are rich in umami also by-products from wheat

displays as a strongly potentiated response in the presence of

nucleotides (30). The fact in MSG production (commercially),

important to be aware of the fact that there is trend sugarcane

production mainly in Java, Indonesia (Directorate General of

Estate Crops-Ministry of Agriculture-Republic of Indonesia,

Factory, Mojokerto, East of Java, Indonesia, unpublished).

Another amino acid showing similar behavior to glutamic

properties was aspartic acid, both of MSG-like compounds.

Yamaguchi et al. reported, the characteristic of aspartic acid

possesses only 7% of the efficacy of MSG (100% umami

level) (33).

Based on molecular and functional points of view both of

them have a similarity of non-essential amino acids (34) and

neurotransmitters. Glutamate and aspartate were the two

neurotransmitters in the central nervous system (CNS) of the

brain (35,36), but Herring et al. explained that the aspartate has

not been an excitatory neurotransmitter, just the only

glutamate was prominent (37).

The solubility of both amino acids is very effected by pH.

The pKa values of glutamic and aspartic at acid pH (a carboxyl

group), are of 2.19 and 1.88, at base pH (an-ammonium ion)

are of 9.67 and 9.60, at side chain group pH are of 4.25 and

MSG production (50). During fermentation, processes

proteolysis or autolysis occurs that generates the predominant

tastants of amino acids. Zhao et al. and Y. Zhang et al.

explained, the major contribution of taste-active of fermented

foods was glutamate, amino acid derivate, and peptides

(51,52). Peptides particularly impart umami taste such as α-

glutamyl peptides especially pyrutamyl-Pro-X peptides which

also produced by pGlu cyclase. Moreover, a number of

bioactive peptides find their potential applications in the food

or pharmaceutical industry (53, 54).

and 2.77 (34). Thus, both amino acids were very polar and

more acidic than other amino acids. Other umami compounds

were glycine, threonine, and serin, also contribute to umami

benefit in which they act modulator on the glutamic receptor

of umami taste (38, 39, 40). The characteristics of umami

compounds are presented in Table 1.

Membrane separation of amino acids has been started

since 1980, include glutamic acid. The majority of these work

aims to recover savory fraction that umami-rich such as

peptides. On the other hand, most of umami-rich foods linked

with high protein foods or fermented foods (41) such as

fermented fish (42) fermented mung bean (43), soy sauce (44),

fermented shrimp products in Southeast Asia (45), cheese (46),

fermented meats (47), wine (48), sake (49), fermentation of

By research methods, we find of 18 research articles in

past 20 yr (Table 2) The finding showed and proved about

umami separation such as savory fraction, protein hydrolyzed

or peptides, the free amino acid (glutamate, aspartate,

glutathione, glycine, glutamine) can separate by using

membrane filtration. There is three of membrane separation

technology for a long time, majority using pressure-driven

conventional membrane filtration processes; only two using

the technique of Electro Membrane Process or electrodialysis

(EMP) by M. Kumar et al. and Doyen et al. and only one using

Emulsion Liquid Membranes (ELM) technique by

Bhuvaneswari et al. (55, 56, 57).

This material has become the most popular membrane

that the PES membrane is good mechanical strength, excellent

compared to the other membrane materials. Unfortunately,

almost of the research reported that higher rejection of amino

acid (especially of negatively charged) such as umami

compounds; glutamic acid, aspartic acid or peptides which

The membrane materials that using to obtain umami

It is proved that even PES have excellent hydrophobicity,

it fouled more seriously. The hydrophobicity of membranes

means the lower hydrophilic properties than other membrane

materials such as polyacrylonitrile, CA, polyamide,

polyamide-imide (77). Unfortunately, PES and PS have a

problem in the fouling of polymeric membranes because of

compounds at the MF stage can be from PES (26) or CA (66)

with a pore size of 0.2 µm in (43). At the UF stage, the majority

of membrane material was PES (20, 78) or by modified PES

(62, 64). In fact, in comparison to other membrane materials

such as CA, regenerated cellulose, PCS, PES, modified PS,

fluoropolymer and Teflon, the best to obtain the purified

peptides were cellulosic-based membrane material (65). The

Cellulose acetate membrane including produces a lot of

peptides which has a molecular weight range 600 to 700

Dalton and 900-20,000 Da when compared with PES (57).

There are three articles using diafiltration (43, 72, 73). This

properties between PES and PS are quite the same (80). It is

different from the length of units, PS has longer repeating units

than PES and the structure of membranes (Fig 1.).

On the contrary, CA membrane properties were different

The membranes of polyamide (PA) being hydrophilic

properties material (2); the removed salt and flux effective

(85). One of PA membranes is thin-film composite polyamide

(PA-TFC) generally using at NF and has been widely applied

in many food industrial applications. Polyamide is materials of

high tensile strength, abrasion and fatigue resistance, low

friction coefficient and good toughness (86). The properties

are owing to its better combination between the flux of water

and rejection than to other asymmetric membranes. The profile

of the PA-TFC membrane consists of three different layers

made of different materials (87). However, there is two kind

from the PES membrane. This membrane is a green polymer

that is produced from raw materials generally from plants.

Cellulose acetate or cellulose triacetate is a kind of cellulose-

based membrane which is synthesized by a reaction of natural

polymer cellulose and acetic acid (42), having properties of

higher transparency and toughness among thermoplastics (81)

and uncharge membrane properties (84). It is called xylonite

sometimes or acetylated cellulose (42). This membrane

provided high salt rejection and high fluxes at moderate

hydrostatic pressure. The structure of CA is shown in Fig. 2.

Some variant of polyamides membranes were PA-TFC on

polyester backing with a PS substrate (78); PA-TFC on

polyester backing with a PES substrate (62); aromatic

polyamide (60); polyamide polyphenylene sulfone composite;

PA-PPSO (70), etc. In accordance with the report of Nady et

al., due to intrinsic hydrophobic properties of PES (82),

relatively low surface energy and high water contact angle, the

PES membrane is vulnerable to adsorptive of fouling. Jeon et

al. were reported about the effect of membrane materials and

surface pore size on the fouling on PES (11). The fouling of

the membrane decreased sharply with increased pore size.

Biofouling was occurred on the PES membrane surface due to

the interaction between protein or microorganisms

The major of foulants on PES could be microbial

metabolites, bacterial cell lysis and un-metabolized

wastewater components (88), including proteins, nucleic

acids, polysaccharides and other polymers (36, 88, 89). In the

same words, Suwal et al. said too, generally the major of

foulants were protein, amino acid, and peptide (50). One of the

evidence was reported by Doyen et al., the foulants at the

surface and or into the pores of the PES were a peptide (57).

According to Luo et al. , besides that compounds, the major of

foulants could be other chemical compounds than expected

due to combined fouling, such as saccharide, organic acid,

NaCl too (60). Besides amino acid, glucose could also block

the membrane pores by adsorption, or protein adsorption takes

place on the membrane surface and due to the inherent

hydrophobic characteristics of the membrane.

(hydrophobic foulants) and the hydrophobic membranes itself.

The charge of the membrane such as PES can form the

electrostatic interactions between charged proteins and

charged membrane (25, 64).

Generally, one of the causes in fouling was depended on

the pH of feed. We agree with Kattan Readi et al. statements

398

Journal of Environmental Treatment Techniques

2020, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages: 390-402

that pH-change as important to electrodialysis process or

membrane filtration (90). Both methods when the separation

of amino acid, pH-changes play an important role in terms of

the efficiency of the process. Due to the zwitterionic character

of amino acids, small pH changes may result in significant

changes in the charge of the amino acids. pH effect occurs

when the separation of l-glutamine from fermentation broth

which umami-rich (glutamic acid) that reported by Li et al.,

that, if the feed were umami-rich and contained metal ions

which separation on the PES membrane in alkaline pH, the

complexes could be blocking the pore of the membrane and

could not be through the pore of the membrane.

Besides of PES membrane, the CA membrane was used

for a long time ago (32,70). CA membrane always used to

obtained peptides fractions and protein on biomedical

application, mainly to recovery hemoglobin and BSA

including alanine of amino acid (17); bioactive peptides

fractions such as an anticancer peptide from snow crab by-

product hydrolysate (57), synthetic peptides (73), acid and

basic peptides (26). In accordance with (73) statements that

cellulose-based membranes are good compatibility with

peptides or proteins. The cellulosic membranes were proved to

be successful and reliable to the purification of peptides with

having MW 12,384Da. Interestingly reported by Yoshikawa et

al., that glutamic acid from racemic amino acids could be

separated (resolution) by using the CA membrane (32). It

means that the glutamic suitable separated using CA.

(

76). In single amino acid solution especially for glutamic acid

showed that rejection of glutamic acid increased slightly with

the rise of the pH from 4 to 9, and held at about 90% when the

pH was higher than 6. Almost all of the glutamic acid in the

solutions dissociated into monovalent anions when the pH was

higher than 6 and into bivalent anions when the pH was higher

than 11. The rejection of glutamic acid was similar to what was

expected according to the percentage of glutamic acid

monovalent anions at a pH of 6–8. Since the PES membrane

(NTR7450) pore size is larger than the Stokes radius of

glutamic acid (meanwhile glutamine which has a Stokes’

radius of 0.28 nm (91), the results indicated that the rejection

of glutamic acid was mainly governed by the charge effect

when the pH varies from 6 to 8. The glutamic acid phenomena

are different from glutamine so that the PES membrane

Jeon et al. reported that the hydrophilic CA membranes to

have a lower fouling potential than other hydrophobic

membranes (e.g., PES) (11). The air contact angles of CA and

PES were 121° and 115°, respectively.

Thus, the

(

NTR7450) can reject more than 90% of glutamic acid and

hydrophobicities of the materials increase in the order CA >

PES. So, hydrophilic membrane materials are preferable for

reducing membrane fouling. Sun et al., indicating that the

foulant in the CA membrane when separated protein staining

dyes and BSA, only smaller aggregates protein formation (94).

When using DLS (dynamic light scattering) test, a large

protein aggregate was confirmed but using SEC filtration and

native-PGE analyses showed BSA dimmer did not play in the

fouling. It is clear that CA was not significant fouling by

protein. The fouling occurs in the isoelectric pH of BSA (4.8).

The BSA and the small aggregates being uncharged, would

have the highest tendency to reversibly associated with more

strongly held foulant. When in pH 6.9 the foulant easily is

removed. It is indicating that the foulant in the CA membrane

was pH-dependent too, but no report that one of the foulants

on CA was umami compounds. The conclusions, the

hydrophilic of CA showed good mitigation of membrane

fouling and the membrane pore size had no significant effect

on fouling mitigation.

Compared by polyamide-base membranes that are being

reported commonly used for RO (95) especially to obtain pure

water (96) showed umami productivity better used than

cellulose-based membranes. (70) have been done

concentration and separation aspartic acid using PA-PPSO

composite compared with CA membranes. The results

conclude that the PA-PPSO membranes combined with

methanol are the most performance of membrane separation.

It is proved too by Vikramachakravarthi et al., who has been

obtained the umami compounds as glutamic acid achieved

over 90% by using PA-TFC (PS) (78). The result of glutamic

acid in Vikramachakravarthi et al. was 0.95g/g compared with

the result of amino Nitrogen by Lou was 0.008g/ml by using

aromatic polyamide membranes (60, 78). Glutamic acid is one

of the amino nitrogen. Reported by Bourseau et al., (62) that

PA-TFC (PES) still forming fouling while membrane cut off

(MWCO) is well affected to obtain fish protein hydrolysates.

In line with PA-TFC (PES) to purification blue whiting of fish

permit almost 85% of glutamine to pass through the membrane

when pH is adjusted to about 7. The separation selectivity of

glutamine and glutamic acid by the PES membrane as a

function of the pH. Glutamine was polar and uncharged as like

other umami compounds etc, threonine and serine, meanwhile,

glycine was nonpolar, but was different from glutamic or

aspartic of amino acid which is polar and having a negative

charge.

Gotoh et al. reported that at a pH of 7.4 conditions,

glutamic acid rejected almost 100% by using PES (66). This

membrane is negatively charged due to the fixed sulfonic

anions of the separation layer. So, the pH of a feed solution is

expected to affect the rejection of the membrane for the

amphoteric electrolytes. Kovacs & Samhaber, conclude that

higher rejection and flux drop over the concentration was

observed in higher pH range, where diprotic amino acids are

present in dissociated from (61). One of the diprotic amino

acid tests was glycine, amino acids that contribution to umami

taste (6). Purwayantie et al. reported too that when has been

done separation of taste compounds using PES membrane in

buffer Tris HCl of pH 8.0 in a crude extract of A. papuana

Becc., it has not been saw of the glutamic acid detected by

HPLC. The research conclusion Kovacs & Samhaber could

explain the phenomena of research results from Purwayantie

et al. (26, 61). The higher rejection and flux drop over the

concentration was observed in alkaline, where the amino acid

is present in dissociated form. It could happen when glutamic

acid in alkaline (pH 8.0) in dissociated form (the net charge is

-

1). The fact, it is nature characteristic because severe amino

acid, protein, and peptide (especially having amino acid

negative charge residue) were umami-rich.

One of the foulants according to (92) were metals and

one of the metals as main fouling (10%) detected on membrane

autopsies was Fe (67.7%). Umami compound's behavior

especially glutamic and aspartic acid which can be complexed

with metal especially on pH alkaline was clear (28, 93). So

the umami compounds could be as a foulants adsorption in the

membrane. The pH effect could be trigger building a form of

fouling on PES was clear. The effect of pH can trigger

interaction between umami compounds that having some

functional groups with metals too. Their anions of glutamic

acid, other amino acids or derivatives are versatile ligands, and

the leading idea to protect the N- or C-terminus of amino acids

by metal ions or by metal complexes (55). Although PES can

be considered as a model membrane material, it is widely used

for commercial MF and UF (97). Now, PES is extensively

used for special applications when protein adsorption is not a

significant problem (73). In contrast, the CA membrane still

rarely uses separation in umami, still focuses on peptides

separation with high of WM. Although any foulants on the CA

membrane are pH-dependent too, the future need for

evaluation or autopsy studies varying of the cellulose-based

membrane. However today, the polyamide-based membranes

have been used to replace of CA membrane. We conclude that

the suitable to obtain the umami compounds was PA-TFC but

the variant of polyamide could affect the productivity of

chemical compounds from membrane processes with

especially using the suitable MWCO of membrane.
