Promising methods for intensifying the process of sucrose extraction from beet chips

The sugar beet industry in Russia has unexhausted reserves of its development, so to use them requires a set of measures to improve the efficiency of sugar production, in which an important role should be given to the extraction process. The efficiency of the extraction process determines the conditions of subsequent technological operations and affects the production of sugar in general. In addition, as a result of extraction produces a multi-tonnage waste of sugar beet production - pulp, the problem of disposal of which is acute for the sugar industry. Therefore, a comprehensive consideration of the process of sugar production includes the issues of deep processing of pulp, as a valuable raw material resource, which contributes to reducing the amount of waste sugar beet production and solving the problem of environmental pollution. Sugar beet industry occupies an important place in the agro-industrial complex of the country. Among the food and processing industries in Russia, sugar beet production is one of the most highly industrialized and energy-intensive. This monoproduct industry is a very peculiar phenomenon in the economy and, in particular, in the food industry. In this article we will consider some of the most promising methods for intensifying the process of sucrose extraction from beet chips, as well as processing of secondary resources of sugar beet production with obtaining new products of high quality.
