Our evaporation station continues to remove water from the raw beet juice until its sugar content is around 65 percent. Our refinery in Frauenfeld separates out a small percentage of this syrup to sell to the yeast industry. The yeast industry uses it as a growth substrate for yeast cultures. The syrup is an ideal replacement for alternative sources of starch such as corn silage. Given the significant impact of corn-silage production, the use of the beet syrup is a major benefit for the environment.
