Abstract
The invention relates to an industrially useful process for the recovery of sucrose and/or non-sucrose components. The process comprises (i) providing a solution of sugar beet and/or sugar cane origin selected from molasses, sugar juices and liquors, wherein said sugar juices are non-nanofiltered during the process; (ii) subjecting said solution to electrodialysis for removing therefrom inorganic and organic anions and cations and organic acids; (iii) subjecting the electrodialyzed solution to a chromatographic separation for obtaining sucrose and non-sucrose components in separate fractions; and (iv) recovering a product selected from sucrose and non-sucrose components from at least one of said fractions. The invention also relates to the use of electrodialysis for improving the efficiency of chromatographic separation in the industrial recovery of sucrose and/or non-sucrose components.
