Of these we will mention one where 1/4000 to 1/2000 part of calcined soda is added to the beet slices in diffusors.

If a diffusor has a capacity of 2,500 lb., there would be added 2.5 lb. soda carbonate.

In working beet juices hydrogen dioxide may be used in the diffusor or during any phase of the sugar manufacturing process, even upon sugars in centrifugals.

Some manufacturers recommend 82� to 86� F. On the other hand, satisfactory results have been obtained at 145� F., followed by cold water in the diffusors.
