Electrodialysis, an electrochemical separation process with charged membranes stacked to separate ionic species from aqueous solutions and uncharged components when an electrical field is applied, is providing new membrane separation processes with numerous applications in the food, nutraceutical and beverage industries. Techniques such as electrolysis with membrane, electrodialysis with ionexchange membranes, electrodialysis with bipolar membrane and electrodialysis with filtration membrane have been used for, among other applications, the coagulation of protein, the electroreduction of the medium and/or the fractionation of several food proteins. Moreover, electrodialysis with filtration membranes has been used for the recovery of molecules with bioactive properties such as antioxidant, anticancer and antihypertensive peptides.
