METHOD FOR PRE-TREATMENT OF SUGAR BEET CHIPS WHEN OBTAINING DIFFUSION JUICE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC C13B10/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: sugar beet chips are fed to the 1st section of the three-section scalder, before being extracted, where they are subsequently treated first with a reagent solution at the temperature of 75°C, then with heating steam. The treatment with the reagent solution is carried out at the time of feeding the chips to the 1st section of the scalder, where immediately after treatment with NaH₂PO₄ they are treated with heating steam in each section of the scalder. The heat treatment is carried out in such a way that the temperature of the sugar beet chips before feeding them into the diffusion apparatus does not exceed 72°C.

EFFECT: increasing the feed value of pulp due to enriching it with phosphates, increasing the diffusion juice purity by preventing the transition of non-sugars from sugar beet chips into the diffusion juice, reducing the corrosion and wear of technological equipment.
