Green syrup and molasses

Once the syrup left from the final crystallization stage, molasses, and intermediate syrups, or green syrups, have been separated from the mother liquor, they are mixed and further processed to remove the valuable remaining sucrose to maximize production.

In the desugarization processing step performed in the ion exchange column (Quentin), the potassium and sodium in beet juice are replaced with magnesium to reduce sugar’s solubility in water. Stable syrup concentration increases the performance of the ion exchange column.
