Abstract: Membrane separation technology has been considered as one of the most promising scientific technologies in the 21th century. The application of membrane technology in food processing tends to be mature. The modern deep processing of tea, especially in the production of instant tea and tea drinking relies on membrane technology heavily. This review introduced the membrane separation technology and its application in food processing, focusing on MF, RF, NF, RO and their application in tea processing. The current status and drawbacks were analyzed and the development trend was also pointed out. The comprehensive performance of membrane in application needs to be enhanced. It is necessary to develop membrane technology combined with other technologies in order to overcome the shortages.
