In: Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Science 2003.v.11(1)Summary: This work was carried out to reduce the deterioration and to extend the shelf life of sugar beet roots after harvest and before processing. Roots were divided to six groups (100 roots for each group), subjected to different treatment (i.e Ca(OH)₂ SO₂, NaOH, C₃H₆O₂ and Na₂S₂O₅) at different concentrations and stored for 15 days in open air. The technological characteristics of sugar beet roots were studied. The least percentage of weight loss and highest juice purity, quality and sucrose recovery were obtained by treating the roots with 500ppm Na₂S₂O₅ (solution).The highest value of hardness was obtained from roots treated by a solution of 5% Ca(OH)₂ while the least value for sucrose loss in wastes was obtained by the use of 2500ppm SO₂.
