Desugarization of molasses by chromatographic separation

Betaine (Trimethylglycine), found in sugar beets and used as an animal feed, in cosmetics, or in fertilizers can be separated using chromatographic separation or ion-exclusion.

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.

Advanced process control confirms stable syrup concentration, which increases the performance of the ion exchange column.
