Abstract
The invention provides a process for the commercial production of sugar, particularly maple, syrup including the steps of exposure of collected raw sugar solutions and maple sap on-site to a predominantly or relatively naturally occurring cold surface, gradually cooling the sap to a temperature sufficient to commence freezing, continuing the cooling and freezing to form a solids body of sap ice and a component separate from the solids body containing first sugars, continuing the cooling and freezing until the first sugars containing component reaches a substantially thickened or solid consistency, and thirdly, separation of the first sugars containing component from the said solids body.
Claims19
A process for the production of sugar syrup comprising the steps of:
- a) collecting a raw sugar solution or sap liquid and exposing said collected raw sugar solution or sap liquid sap to a cold surface,
- b) cooling said raw sugar solution or sap liquid on said surface to a temperature sufficient to slowly commence and continue freezing through the raw sugar solution or sap liquid,
- c) continuing said cooling and freezing gradually to form a solid body of sap ice and to separate a first sugars containing liquid component of the sap from the forming solids body,
- d) continuing said cooling and freezing until the said first sugars containing component reaches a substantially thickened or solid consistency, and
- e) separation of said first sugars containing component from the said solids body.
