Abstract
Methods and compositions for clarifying sugar are disclosed. Compositions of a condensation polymer of a dihaloalkyl compound and a dialkylamine compound and a phosphate compound are effective at clarifying the sugar syrup during its production as well as reducing the total amount of phosphate used.
Claims20
A method for clarifying sugar syrup during production of sugar comprising adding to said syrup an effective clarifying amount of a composition of a condensation polymer of a dihaloalkyl compound and a dialkylamine compound and a phosphate compound, the phosphate compound comprising at least one water soluble compound which does not substantially decrease the pH of the sugar syrup.
A composition useful in clarifying sugar syrup comprising a condensation polymer of a dihaloalkyl compound and a dialkylamine compound and a phosphate compound, said phosphate compound comprising at least one water soluble compound which does not substantially decrease the pH of the sugar syrup.
