A process for preparing crystalline sugar by providing a solution of a solvent and sugar, exposing the solution to a magentic field having a strength which is sufficient to impart improvements in the processing of the sugar or the properties of the resulting crystalline sugar product, and providing conditions suitable for crystallization to obtain a substantially crystalline sugar product. The magnetic field strength is sufficient to influence at least one of morphology, size, nucleation rate or, crystallinity of the crystalline sugar product.

Disclosed herein is a continuous manufacturing method for anhydrous crystalline maltitol comprising the following steps: (i) a heating and concentrating step where an aqueous solution containing maltitol in which maltitol is a main ingredient is continuously heated and concentrated to give a concentrated solution having a high concentration; (ii) a seed crystal adding and mixing step where the seed crystals are added to and mixed with the above concentrated solution with heating to give a massceuite containing the seed crystals; and (iii) a crystal aging step where the massceuite is subjected to disintegration, mixing, stirring and transfer in an atmosphere in which temperature and moisture are adjusted to proceed the crystallization.

An acid recovery system used in a hydrolysis operation includes a chromatographic unit to provide initial separation of sugar and acid. The sugar product provided by the chromatographic unit is processed to produce higher value products, such as ethanol. The remaining acid is contaminated by sugar. A nanofiltration unit containing a nanofilter membrane processes the sugar contaminated acid. The acid is allowed to permeate across the nanofilter membrane while sugar is rejected. The permeate is provided to a conventional acid recovery system and recycled for use in the hydrolysis process.

The invention relates to a production method of high-quality sugar, specifically to an improvement of a technology of sugar refinement and purification. High-quality white granulated sugar products are obtained after sugar canes are torn, pressed, cane juice is defecated, mixed juice is heated, a cane sugar complex auxiliary agent is added, the mixed juice is stirred up, floating juice is heated, sedimentated and vaporized, phosphoric acid and the cane sugar complex auxiliary agent are added, syrup is stirred up, the process of honey separation is carried out, the mixture is boiled, refined, crystallized, dried and packed. As the method of the invention adopts a low-temperature technology and a floating treatment method of adding the phosphoric acid, lime and the cane sugar auxiliary agent to lead the floating juice to reach or exceed the effect of the floating juice by original traditional technology, and utilizes a syrup floating principle and a scruff repressing method to substitute the sediment, filtration and stoving technology in the prior art, and cancels such technologies and equipment thereof as filtration, neutralization and sulfur dioxide gas system, retention time in cane juice production process is shortened, sulfur is used as a clarifier during the whole technical process, and sugar without sulfur is produced, thus improving product quality as well as reducing cost.

A method for recovering sulfuric acid from concentrated acid hydrolysate of plant cellulose material is disclosed. In some of the examples, the concentrated acid hydrolysate is mixed with a liquid organic precipitant, with the sugars in the hydrolysate being precipitated and separated out. The remainder is sulfuric acid and an organic solvent solution. The organic solvent is then separated by distillation or extraction, thereby obtaining the pure sulfuric acid solution. This precipitation method can recover above 90% sugars and acids with a small amount of organic precipitant, which greatly reduces the recovery cost.

A process for producing a starch comprises treating a feed starch that comprises amylopectin with glucanotransferase to produce a chain-extended starch, treating the chain- extended starch with a debranching enzyme to produce a starch product that comprises amylose fragments, crystallizing at least part of the starch product, heating the starch product in the presence of moisture, treating the starch product with alpha-amylase, and washing the starch product to remove at least some non-crystallized starch. The product of this process has a relatively high total dietary fiber content.

The invention relates to removing crystallization inhibitors from a solution comprising one or more reducing sugars by nanofiltration, hydrolysis and / or chromatography. The reducing sugars are typically selected from fructose and xylose.

Crystalline alpha-lactose monohydrate is recovered from a viscous lactose-containing aqueous liquid by subjecting said liquid to simultaneous heating, removal of evaporated vapor and mechanical agitation at high shear rate to provide a crystallization promoting decrease of the viscosity of the liquid with crystals formed and suspended therein to progressively concentrate the agitated liquid and simultaneously crystallize lactose therefrom. Subsequent cooling, drying, and disintegration yield particulate alpha-lactose monohydrate.

The present invention relates to a method for recovering a monosaccharide selected from the group consisting of rhamnose, arabinose, xylose and mixtures thereof from a solution containing the same by a multistep process using chromatographic separation comprising at least one step, where a weakly acid cation exchange resin is used for the chromatographic separation.

The invention discloses a sugar manufacture clarification process which comprises the following steps: adding lime milk into mixed cane juice to adjust the pH value to be 7.5-7.8, thereby obtaining lime-milk-added cane juice; filtering the lime-milk-added cane juice by using a horizontal screw centrifuge, thereby obtaining roughly filtered cane juice; heating the roughly filtered cane juice to be 55-65 DEG C, thereby obtaining cane juice which is heated for the first time; stoving the cane juice which is heated for the first time with SO2 until the intensity of sulfitation is 4-6 mL, thereby obtaining stoved cane juice; heating the stoved cane juice to be 80-90 DEG C, thereby obtaining cane juice which is heated for the second time; performing ultrafiltration clarification on the cane juice which is heated for the second time by using a ceramic membrane, thereby obtaining clear cane juice and membrane concentrated liquid; filtering the membrane concentrated liquid by using a plate-and-frame filter press, and returning the filtered membrane concentrated liquid to a roughly filtered cane juice storage tank. As a conventional sugar manufacture clarification process through a sulfurous acid method is combined with a membrane separation technique, a novel sugar manufacture clarification process is developed, the clarified cane juice prepared by using the process is low in color value, high in purity and low in turbidity, and the white sugar prepared from the cane juice is good in quality.

The invention discloses a crystallization method of trichloro sucrose. The method dissolves a concentrate or a solid that contains the trichloro sucrose in a mixed impregnant. The mixed impregnant contains two impregnant with large difference in boiling points; wherein, the impregnant with a low boiling point has higher solubility to the trichloro sucrose while the impregnant with a high boiling point has lower solubility to the trichloro sucrose. In the condition of proper temperature and vacuum degree, the impregnant is concentrated and crystals of the trichloro sucrose are separated when the impregnant with low boiling point volatilizes and finished product of trichloro sucrose crystals is obtained through filtering and desiccation after being settled. The method has the advantages of low production cost, high production yield, mild condition, stable quality and simple equipment, etc.
