Beet material, such as extracted sugar beet slices or sugar beet peels, is subjected to acid hydrolysis in a hydrolyzer at elevated temperature and elevated pressure to form a hydrolyzed product, which is separated on a filter into a liquid fraction which is neutralized and evaporated to form a low moisture content liquid product suitable as animal feed, and a solids fraction. The solids fraction may be pressed to form a product having a high dry matter content or may be used directly as a starting material for the production of glucose by acid hydrolysis. |
