Sugar and nonsugars (all soluble substances in sugarbeet juice except sugar) come to the factory in sugarbeet (the raw material of the beet-sugar factory). Sugar goes out as the product and nonsugars accumulate in molasses (which is a by-product of the factory). A person who has a good knowledge of sugar and nonsugars and knows how to separate them (with the highest possible effi ciency) to produce sugar on an industrial scale is called a beet-sugar technologist.
