First of all it is necessary to point out several misprints, which interrupt the study of the paper. The following abbreviations, partly derived from German terms, are used in this table: m = mass;   DiS = Thick juice;   D = Thick juice in Fig. 7;   Me = molasses;   M = molasses in Fig. 7;   S = sucrose;   NS = non-sugar;   q = purity.

[1]	Page 882, just above Fig. 3: "the factor 2 results from the conversion of meq CaO to mmol NaOH." Clarified as misprint on 10.6.2004:  Read mmol CaO instead of meq CaO.
[2]	Page 882, equation (3.2):   mNS,Me  =  mNS,DiS  *  fMe Clarified as misprint:   Read mS,Me instead of mNS,Me
[3]	Page 882, next line  and  page 886, 6th item in the list of symbols:  mNS,Me Clarified as misprint:   Read mS,Me instead of mNS,Me
[4]	Page 882, next line:   fMe is defined as qMe /100 - qMe  (qMe = molasses purity). Clarified as misprint:   Read qMe /(100 - qMe)  instead of   qMe /100 - qMe
[5]	On page 883, chapter 3.4, after the example: A symbol fDiS is used with a value of 1.13, corresponding to fD in Fig. 7. fD was used and defined in the Cambridge paper of my (former) group in 1991 as a short symbol for the ratio non-sugar/sugar in thick juice. Now fD is used in another way - without new definition.
[6]	Page 885, Fig. 7:   fM corresponds to the explained symbol fMe. Confirmed by the author on 10.6.2004
[7]	Page 883, equation (3.3):   mS,Me =  mS,Me,NaOH  +  mNS,Me Clarified as misprint:   Read   mS,Me (total) =  mS,Me,NaOH  +  mS,Me
[8]	Page 882, after equation (2):  Betain and Raffinose are mentioned in connection with equation 1, but this might be equation 2. Confirmed by the author.
