Purification E. A. H A A G E N S E N 1 The process for recovering sugar from sugar beets has existed in its present form substantially unchanged since its inception over 100 years ago. There have been many improvements in technique and equipment but the essential methods have remained relatively the same. Now a new process of juice purification has been developed that promises to remove most of...

A model SUBEMOpo, to simulate sugar beet growth and sugar accumulation for potential production conditions has been evaluated. Given initial conditions, the growth, development and sugar accumulation of the model are driven by observed weather (i.e. maximum and minimum temperatures, rainfall, wind speed, relative humidity and solar radiation). Soil water and nutrients are considered as non limi...

A retrospective analysis of the state sugar beet seed production in Krasnodar Territory has been carried out. The problems are reflected and factors intensification seed-growing process named as a necessary condition for restoration domestic seedgrowing an increase proportion seeds Kuban selection crops North-Caucasian region. results testing hybrids selected by FSBSI “Pervomaysky Selection und...

Conversion of Glucose to Ethanol In the U.S., corn is the predominant source of starch (glucose) used to produce ethanol. With the exception of sugar cane, corn provides the highest ethanol yields compared to any other feedstock being used (Table 2). However, research is underway to develop methods to convert carbohydrates from cellulosic feedstocks such as softwood (Arwa et al., 2005), non-sta...

Field-grown sugar beets were analysed for morphological characters, sucrose content, and reproducible transcript profiles by macroarray analyses with 11,520 unique sugar-beet cDNA targets in two different years. Seasonal differences were partly compensated by expressing sampling dates as thermal time. During early beet development the number of cambial rings, root length, and sucrose concentrat...

the effects of pulsed electric field (pef) on the cell disintegration of sugar beet were studied. field strength (0.5kv/cm to 6kv/cm), pulse number (1 to 100 pulses) and capacity of capacitors (0.5 f to 32 f) were evaluated on degree of cell disintegration and consumed energy in pef treatment. the field conditions of 1 and 2 kv/cm, 8 f with 20 and 10 pulses respectively disintegrated the cel...
