| Abstract | Centrifugation of massecuites takes place after crystallization as the final step of purification to remove nonsucrose from the surface of sugar crystals and only leaves traces of water which are evaporated during the drying process. However, this ultimate stage of removal of nonsucrose cannot remedy defects occurring in earlier stages. The quality of white sugar depends on all the steps of beet sugar processing before boiling (storage of beet, extraction, purification, concentration) and also, particularly on crystallization which is preponderant for the determination of crystal size distribution and the repartition of the nonsugars in the crystals. The importance of the quality of crystals on the stability of white sugar as regards caking was shown recently [1]. Hence, the adsorption of water vapor greatly depends on crystal size distribution and on the nonsucrose on the surface of crystals, especially for sugars imperfectly washed at the centrifugals as well as twins and conglomerates which retain nonsucrose between crystals. To standardize the conditions of control of industrial centrifugation, a laboratory test has been applied at the G.T.S. (Groupement Technique de Sucreries) since the 1970s. This test consists in applying ideal conditions of washing using a double magmatizing procedure with a saturated pure sucrose solution.
