During beet processing foam occurs due to foam active substances (proteins, sugar and degradation products), which are eluted during the transport in water, mash and during the cossettes extraction. During this process protein foam is generated, which is stabilized by sugar. AEROPEC™ defoamers are adapted exactly to the requirements of the different stages in sugar production.
