The invention relates to a combination of compounds for de-icing and/or anti-skid treatment, which combination comprises betaine and at least one other de-icing agent, which has been selected from the group consisting of acetates, formates, urea and combinations thereof. The invention also relates to a method of de-icing and/or anti-skid treatment, wherein a combination of compounds selected from the group consisting of acetates, formats, urea and combinations thereof, are applied to a slippery surface or a surface vulnerable to slipperiness. The invention further relates to the use of betaine for de-icing and/or anti-skid treatment, when betaine is used in combination with at least one other de-icing agent, which has been selected from the group consisting of acetates, formates, urea and combinations thereof.

The invention relates to a raw material for use in the preparation of pectin and related compounds, the raw material being pressed, stabilized sugar beet pulp subjected to biotechnical pre-treatment. In accordance with the invention the raw material is prepared by pre-treating fresh pressed sugar beet pulp by lowering the pH to a value between 3.5 and 4.5 (preferably 3.9 and 4.3) and subsequently storing the obtained acid pulp in tight, i.e. substantially oxygen-free conditions.
