Nitrogenous Compounds in Sugar Beet Juices

Organic Acids in Sugar Beet Diffusion Juices

Research and Marketing Act funds have been allotted to the Western Regional Research Laboratory for work on the technology of sugar beets. Liaison between the Laboratory and industry has been established through the Committee on processing problems, appointed by the industry. This committe has met at the Laboratory to discuss subjects meriting investigation and has proposed four problems: (1) s...

The Effects of Chemical Purification on the Color of Thin and Thick Juices in Sugar Beet Factories

Background and Objectives: Recognizing the impurities of sugar beet and also comparing different methods of juice purification have shown that the chemical purification based on lime and carbon dioxide is really efficient and economic in the sugar industry. Factories have to control and improve purification stages to achieve clear juice with high chemical purity, low color, minimum hardness, su...

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.).

Creating transgenic plants is invaluable for the genetic analysis of sugar beet and will be increasingly important as sugar beet genomic technologies progress. A protocol for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sugar beet is described in this chapter. Our protocol is optimized for a sugar beet genotype that performs exceptionally well in tissue culture, including the steps of dedifferentia...

Sugar transport in conducting elements of sugar beet leaves.

Autoradiography was used to determine the distribution of labeled sugar in conducting elements of the blade and petiole of sugar beet leaves at intervals ranging from 5 sec to 24 hr. The processes of assimilation by the green cells, collection of sugar in the minor veins and export in phloem elements were demonstrated visually. It appears that in minor veins sugar is translocated in companion c...
