Melt Suspension Crystallization (MSC) is a technique, that can be used for large scale separation and ultrapurification of organic compounds. Because of the high selectivity of crystallization, the moderate operating conditions, and the relatively low latent heat of fusion, the energy consumption of these kind of processes is low. Furthermore, the use and regeneration of toxic or explosive solvents can be avoided. Thus, MSC can be regarded as an environmentally and economically promising technique for …

…of fine sugar powder, as soon as the saturation point is exceeded by a reasonable amount and before the metastable point of spontaneous nucleation sets in. Still another procedure, known as "shocking," consists of suddenly adding cane juice to the pan and increasing the vacuum so that metastable conditions are established and a crop of seed crystals forms. The feed, steam, and vacuum are then adjusted so that these nuclei grow without additional ones forming.
