METHOD FOR DIFFUSION-PRESS EXTRACTION OF SUCROSE FROM BEET CHIPS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C13B10/08 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method envisages extraction of sucrose from beet chips by way of countercurrent diffusion with subsequent pressing of desaccharified beet chips and return of water produced after pressing for diffusion. Sucrose extraction from beet chips by way of countercurrent diffusion is confined to residual sucrose content in desaccharified beet chips equal to 2.0-2.5% of the beet chips weight by way of reduction of diffusion juice bleed to 105-110% of the beet chips weight which allows to improve additional sucrose extraction from desaccharified beet chips by way of pressing till dry substances content is equal to 22-26% and till the residual sucrose content is equal to 1.0-1.5% in beet chips desaccharified by way of pressing.

EFFECT: diffusion juice selection reduction, purity enhancement, reference fuel and water expenditures reduction.
