Frequently Asked Questions
How do BetaTec hops compare to traditional biocides such as formalin (formaldehyde), ammonium bisulfite and harsh chemicals in sugar production?
BetaTec hop blends deliver targeted control of the Gram-positive organisms (e.g., Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus) that cause dextran, lactic-acid formation and viscosity problems in extraction, thick-juice handling and molasses; preserving sucrose recovery and protecting filtration, evaporation and crystallization performance, while traditional agents like formalin, ammonium bisulfite and chlorine act as broad-spectrum, indiscriminate biocides with substantial worker-safety, regulatory and downstream-product risks.
Are hops safe for co-products?
Yes, residues in co-products such as molasses and pulp are generally considered safe for animal feed and, in some cases, may be neutral or beneficial to downstream, but we recommend site-specific verification and documentation.
