Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history and science of extracting sugar from sugar beets, a technique that began in the late 18th century when scientists and statesmen alike realized Europe's reliance on sugar cane from the Caribbean was unsustainable due to the slave trade. It details the work… of several scientists and the challenges they faced with extracting sugar from beets, as well as the evolution of beet sugar production from its inception to its state in the mid-19th century. Because of the thoroughness, this book also touches on the agricultural and industrial significance of sugar beet cultivation as practiced in Europe and the US, as well as the chemistry of sugar beets. This book provides an expansive view of sugar beet history, from the motivations for its inception to its place in the sugar industry, and will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of food, chemistry, or agriculture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
