EXTRACTION OF MOLASSES FROM SUGAR CRYSTALS IN A CENTRIFUGE

Structural confirmation of oligosaccharides newly isolated from sugar beet molasses

BACKGROUND Sugar beet molasses is a viscous by-product of the processing of sugar beets into sugar. The molasses is known to contain sucrose and raffinose, a typical trisaccharide, with a well-established structure. Although sugar beet molasses contains various other oligosaccharides as well, the structures of those oligosaccharides have not been examined in detail. The purpose of this study wa...

Effect of Storage Temperature and Light on the Freeze-Dried Amino Acids from Sugar Beet and Sugar Cane Molasses

Molasses is a significant by-product of sugar beet or sugar cane refining industry. In this work, the effects of storage temperature and packaging on the contents of free amino acids (AAs) in sugar beet and sugar cane molasses after freeze drying were inquired. The effect of different variables such as, temperature (4 and 25˚C) and light (Metallized polypropylene container and Normal polypropyl...

Separation of Sugar from Molasses by Ultrafiltration and Nanofiltration

Molasses, the main material of this project was diluted and processed, according to the type of the used ultra and nano membranes (UF10kDa, UF5kDa, N30F). Permeate flux was determined at different times for membranes and steady time was registered. By changing transmembrane pressure, permeate flux, which is dependent on the pressure, was registered. Final permeate flux was registered in each tr...

Efficiency of extraction of nematodes by flotation-sieving using molasses and sugar and by elutriation.

Blackstrap molasses was studied as an economical substitute for sucrose in the preparation of an extracting solution for removal of nematodes from soil by the flotation-sieving technique. The maximal number of nematodes extracted from soil was obtained with molasses solutions with specific gravity values in the range 1.000-1.073. Results of studies on the relation between size of soil sample an...
