Water is crucial for all industrial as well as domestic use. With the increase in population and development of industry, the demand for potable drinking is surging rapidly.x Wastewater discharge is a major issue for industries as regulatory bodies mandate adequate treatment before releasing it to the aquatic bodies. The food industry is one of the most water-intensive industries. The demand for food increases with the increase in population which leads to more production of readymade food products. This will lead to more water demand and usage for production, which ultimately generates more and more wastewater. Food industry effluent characteristic depends on the type of processing operations. Conventional wastewater treatment plants can treat this type of effluents to some extent. Treatment of this wastewater for utilization in manufacturing applications requires enrichment and development for agricultural and domestic use. Membrane technology is gaining popularity for wastewater remediation methodolgies because of its benefits over traditional methods. Membrane technology is used to extract out valued compounds from the waste stream in many food industries. Membrane technology can also be used as a pre- or post-treatment to enhance the performance of the conventional processes. Many integrated membrane techniques are recently developed and used by various food industries to treat their effluent.
