The first all-in-one reference for the beet-sugar industry Beet-Sugar Handbook is a practical and concise reference for technologists, chemists, farmers, and research personnel involved with the beet-sugar industry. It covers: * Basics of beet-sugar technology * Sugarbeet farming * Sugarbeet processing * Laboratory methods of analysis The book also includes technologies that improve the operation and profitability of the beet-sugar factories, such as: * Juice-softening process * Molasses-softening process * Molasses-desugaring process * Refining cane-raw sugar in a beet-sugar factory The book ends with a review of the following: * Environmental concerns of a beet-sugar factory * Basics of science related to sugar technology * Related tables for use in calculations Written in a conversational, engaging style, the book is user friendly and practical in its presentation of relevant scientific and mathematical concepts for readers without a significant background in these areas. For ease of use, the book highlights important notes, defines technical terms, and presents units in both metric and British systems. Operating problem-solving related to all stations of sugarbeet processing, frequent practical examples, and given material/energy balances are other special features of this book.

Excerpt from Practical Handbook for Beet-Sugar Chemists: Rapid Methods of Technico-Chemical Analyses of the Products, and by-Products and of Material Used in the Manufacture of Beet Sugar The author does not claim of this handbook to contain hereto fore unknown theories and methods, but has endeavored to con dense the selected practical information obtained from standard works and other sources, to a small, convenient form. It is evident that the manufacturing process, the chemistry of the various sugars and the polariscope could not be discussed exhaustively within the limits of a mere handbook, but the short outlines given will doubtless prove profitable to beginners. The author takes this opportunity to thank Mr. Geo. M. Bradford for the complete revision of the manuscript, also Messrs. Eimer Amend of New York for the loan of some of their electrotypes.
