Development and research of new method for juice extracting from sugar beet with preliminary pressing

Abstract

The main objectives of the experimental studies were to obtain kinetic patterns and to determine the rational parameters of the pressing processes, ensuring high efficiency of the process of juice obtaining from sugar beets by the press method. The main indicator of the pressing process effectiveness is the yield of beet juice pressed (extruded) in the press, since the parameters of the further production process depend to a large extent on it. In accordance with this, one of the experimental studies aims was to maximize the beet juice yield. To do this, a series of experiments was carried out. Their results made it possible to determine the degree of various factors influence on the juice yield. However, striving for the maximum beet juice yield, it should be taken into account that the resulting juice should be of the highest quality, which would ensure the possibility of its further effective purification. Therefore, in addition to the juice yield, another objective of the experiments was to determine the factors affecting its quality. The total effectiveness of the technology developed will be the result of an optimal combination of the juice extraction value and its quality indicators.
