Sugar Beet Syrup and Molasses as Low-cost Feedstock for Fructooligosaccharide Synthesis

Sugar Beet Syrup and Molasses as Low-cost Feedstock for Fructooligosaccharide Synthesis 

The initial pHs of the sugar syrup and molasses were 7.5 and 8.9, respectively. It was observed that fructooligosaccharide production from syrup and molasses increased substantially when moving from the starting pH to pH 5.5 (by the addition of glacial acetic acid).
