Abstract

From the fundamental equation: Y = A + (B × X) relations between apparent and true parameters ( brix, sucrose, and purity ) of Egyptian beet molasses; which obtained from Delta Sugar Company, Kafr El-Sheikh governorate, Egypt, during 2006/2007 production season; had been deduced ( whereas, Y = true parameter        and X = apparent parameter ) by identification of constants A and B.
Application of the equations was illustrated by example connected with sugar analysis for quality control purposes. The equations could be applied to the apparent calculations set up by a calculator or computer, to determine true parameters; which consider a rapid, simple and accurate method.
