Abstract
An overview of the scientific career of the author in the sugar industry is given. His PhD study on the alkaline degradation of monosaccharides formed the basis of additional research efforts to better understand the behavior of sucrose and invert sugar under process conditions. NIRS analysis of process samples and the use of HPLC/HPIC techniques are examples for development of up-to-date, accurate, faster and/or more distinguishing methods. The technical quality of sugar beet has received attention since the recent reform of EU sugar regime. As one of the first the author has used dextranase to solve filtration problems in juice purification. Anaerobic digestion of beet pulp and raw juice concentration are briefly presented. Knowledge management (KM) is seen as the key tool to capture and transfer the knowledge as it is generated by R&D efforts.
