Novasep Solutions for Liquid Sugar Industry

Applexion® Unique Liquid Sugar Processes: A Track Record of Performance

Novasep offers unique processes for high quality liquid sucrose and invert sugar syrups production corresponding to the specific requirements of the food industry. The production of industrial liquid sweeteners has indeed seen a formidable expansion in the United States where the equivalent of 8.5 million tons of liquid corn sweeteners are consumed as ingredients for soft drinks and other food products. An increased demand in industrial sugars inevitably leads to the production of liquid sweeteners, having very high technological standards similar to those derived from starch, and engineered to be cost-competitive.

The production of liquid sugar can also be made from various raw materials, such as sugar beet or sugar cane.

Economic considerations determine which type of raw material could be used in each country.

The Concept for producing Liquid Sugar is based on the following:

• Crystallization is not the most cost effective method for producing industrial liquid sugars
• Using crystalline refined sugar in the industry requires significant handling operations at the end-user's plant:
  • Dissolution with high grade water
  • Filtration
  • Pasteurization
• The capital and operating costs requirements clearly favor using liquid sugar for the same production capacity
• The optimal capacity of a liquid sugar plant is ideal for the requirements of the soft drinks market, while much larger capacities are needed for a conventional sugar refinery.

These Processes provide a wide Range of Liquid Sugars including:

• Liquid sucrose
• Medium invert syrups
• 95% invert syrups
• Glucose syrups
• Fructose syrups
• Specialty sugars (fructo-oligosaccharides, etc...)

Benefits of the Process

Cost

We design and produce cost effective processes by reducing energy consumption (avoiding useless transformation of raw materials).

Quality

We implement unique processes by producing high quality liquid sucrose and invert sugar syrup. These products are suitable for production of premix, or a mixture of various types of sweeteners, corresponding to specific requirements of the food industry.

Color

We develop green processes including original demineralization and decolorization Applexion® processes which reduces the consumption and the waste of chemicals.

Other

Other original Applexion® processes in the field of sweeteners production:

• Sucrose (decolorization of refinery liquors, deliming of thin juices, chromatographic separation of molasses),
• Sweeteners derivated from starch (complete process lines for production of glucose, fructose, maltose syrups, polyols such as mannitol and sorbitol)
