Assessment of several hydrodynamic properties of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

Abstract

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is the most cultivated crop after sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) for the production of sucrose for human consumption (Pan, Lu, Zhu, Tu, & Cen, 2016). Beetroot ingredients are divided into two main parts: about 75% water and about 25% solids. Solids can be divided into two parts: sucrose and nonsugar substances, part of which is water-soluble and other water-insoluble part, which is called the Mark. The Mark actually contains insoluble nonsugar materials in the cell wall, and most of it contains materials such as cellulose (21%-24%), hemicellulose (22%-31%), pectic substances (20%-40%), and lignin (2%-7%). On average, Mark make up about 4 to 5% of the beetroot's composition. Cellulose and hemicellulose give cell strength while pectic bodies, as cement, bind cells together (Lu, 2004). The extract is composed of sucrose and non-sucrose-soluble substances. Non-sucrose-soluble substances in sugar beet make up about 2.5% of the compounds. The most important non-sucrose-soluble substances include non-nitrogenous organic matter, nitrogenous organic matter, and minerals. The waste during the harvesting, loading, and transporting of sugar beet is a major part of the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of this product. Direct and indirect impact and damage to the root of the sugar beet eventually cause the amount of sucrose stored in the root to be reduced and the residual amount not fully extracted (Pan, Lu, Zhu, McGrath, & Tu, 2015). The increasing food wastes are a serious challenge in most countries, and it is especially a challenge for

Evaluation of rhizomania infection on sugar beet quality in multi‐year field assessment

“…The final production potential of the crop under rhizomania infection depends mainly on the cultivar resistance and weather condition (Asher, 2002;Henry, 1996;Khorshidpour et al, 2020).…”

“…If the infection occurs early in the growing season, the extent of damage to the root increases significantly, and thus the production efficiency and the sugar content decrease. The final production potential of the crop under rhizomania infection depends mainly on the cultivar resistance and weather condition (Asher, 2002 ; Henry, 1996 ; Khorshidpour et al., 2020 ).…”
