The invention relates to an industrially useful process for the recovery of sucrose and / or non-sucrose components. The process comprises (i) providing a solution of sugar beet and / or sugar cane origin selected from molasses, sugar juices and liquors, wherein said sugar juices are non-nanofiltered during the process; (ii) subjecting said solution to electrodialysis for removing therefrom inorganic and organic anions and cations and organic acids; (iii) subjecting the electrodialyzed solution to a chromatographic separation for obtaining sucrose and non-sucrose components in separate fractions; and (iv) recovering a product selected from sucrose and non-sucrose components from at least one of said fractions. The invention also relates to the use of electrodialysis for improving the efficiency of chromatographic separation in the industrial recovery of sucrose and / or non-sucrose components.

The invention relates to an improved nanofiltration process for separating and recovering components, such as sugars and sugar alcohols from multicomponent mixtures. The process of the invention is characterized by collecting the nanofiltration retentate / permeate in several fractions with different purity, optional recycling of at least one of the collected nanofiltration retentate / permeate fractions to the nanofiltration and recovering the desired component from the nanofiltration permeate / retentate fractions by different methods. In one embodiment of the invention, the process comprises a combination of nanofiltration and chromatography.

The invention discloses a method for extracting soybean oligosaccharides by using soybean molasses, belonging to the field of soybean product production. The problem of high reducing sugar content of soybean oligosaccharides produced in the prior art is solved, and the method comprises the following steps: dilute soybean molasses, heat and boil, add quicklime, then pass carbon dioxide gas to adjust the pH of the solution to neutral, and centrifuge to take the supernatant ; The supernatant is cooled to room temperature, and the colored substance is decolorized by using a macroporous adsorption decolorization resin to obtain a slightly yellow or colorless aqueous solution of soybean oligosaccharides; an acidic cationic resin and a basic anionic resin are used for adsorption and desalination treatment to obtain a colorless Color transparent soybean oligosaccharide aqueous solution; under the conditions of vacuum degree of 0.08-0.1MPa and temperature of 50-70°C, use a rotary evaporator or a thin film evaporator to carry out vacuum concentration until the product hangs on the wall to obtain the finished soybean oligosaccharide . The method of the invention is suitable for extracting soybean oligosaccharides from soybean molasses.

Conventionally, sugarcane processing avoids leaving residual sucrose in the bagasse, since the bagasse will be burned and the value of the sucrose would be lost. However, when coupled with a Green Power+® process to extract hemicelluloses, sucrose may also be extracted and recovered from the bagasse. In some variations, a process includes mechanically treating a feedstock to generate a sucrose-rich stream and lignocellulosic material that intentionally retains a significant amount of the initial sucrose in the feedstock; extracting the lignocellulosic material with steam and / or hot water to produce cellulose-rich solids and an extract liquor containing hemicellulosic oligomers and sucrose; and then hydrolyzing the hemicellulosic oligomers into a hemicellulose sugar stream. Each of the sucrose-rich stream and the hemicellulose sugar stream (containing the starting residual sucrose) may be recovered or further processed (e.g., fermented to ethanol). Similar processes are possible with energy cane, sugar beets, and energy beets.
