Isolation of raffinose from cottonseed meal. II. Utilization of production wastes

The course of production has been monitored over the stages of the technological process with the aim of identifying the main losses of raffinose. The fractions were analyzed by a chromato-photometric method. It was established that the main losses of raffinose took place at the stage of purifying the crude extract with gasoline and in crystallization. The composition of the wastes from the production of raffinose has been studied and possible methods for utilizing them have been found.
