The first all-in-one reference for the beet-sugar industry
Beet-Sugar Handbook is a practical and concise reference for technologists, chemists, farmers, and research personnel involved with the beet-sugar industry. It covers:
- Basics of beet-sugar technology
- Sugarbeet farming
- Sugarbeet processing
- Laboratory methods of analysis
The book also includes technologies that improve the operation and profitability of the beet-sugar factories, such as:
- Juice-softening process
- Molasses-softening process
- Molasses-desugaring process
- Refining cane-raw sugar in a beet-sugar factory
Beet Sugar Handbook ends with a review of the following:
- Environmental concerns of a beet-sugar factory
- Basics of science related to sugar technology
- Related tables for use in calculations
Beet Sugar Handbook is user friendly and practical in its presentation of relevant scientific and mathematical concepts for readers without a significant background in these areas. For ease of use, the book highlights important notes, defines technical terms, and presents units in both metric and British systems. Operating problem-solving related to all stations of sugarbeet processing, frequent practical examples, and given material/energy balances are other special features of this book.
