Results of long-term storage of coupled loop molasses desugarization extract

Chemical markers or signals for determination of storability of chromatographic separator extract

“…Microbial counts have been shown to decrease after the pH drop occurred; it is conceivable that one could miss the point of the infection if the interval between samples is too long. In addition, we have found that the presence of microbial invertase can result in juice degradation without any increase in microbial counts (2).…”

“…In addition to thick juice storage, Fiddlers (1) discussed storage of raw thick juice in 1993 and Groom presented a paper on extract storage at the 2003 ASSBT (2). In all cases, the conditions for successful storage of concentrated juice are similar: RDS of 67% or higher or super saturation of 1.05, pH of approximately 9 or greater, temperature of storage 25 ºC or lower, and control of infections at the surface of the juice through the application of 25% sodium hydroxide or other approved chemicals that have shown efficacy in this application.…”
