Cane and beet colorants are very different.

CarboUA has special adsorbents that  target large molecular weight (HMW) colorants found in cane sugar. However, these are problematic in the crystallization section, where the HMW products have a strong affinity for the crystal.

Co-refining takes place in various combinations:

1. Direct blending screened melt with thick juice.
2. The process through the beet end with liming and carbonation.
3. Separate raw sugar campaign.
4. Affination and sugar recovery from affination syrup.

Our product and specific advice on the above have provided successful color suppression and reduction of recycle to achieve sugar color targets.
