63.5 Hemicellulose Extract
is a by-product of the manufacture of pressed wood. It is the concentrated soluble material obtained from the treatment of wood at elevated temperature and pressure without use of acids, alkalis, or salts. It contains pentose and hextose sugars, and has a total carbohydrate content of not less than 55%. (Proposed 1965, Published 1966) Reg. 573.520
63.6 Starch Molasses

is the dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and freed from crowns, leaves, and sand, and which has been extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. (Proposed 1976, Published 1977)
63.37 Beet Pulp, dried, molasses
is the dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and freed from crowns, leaves, and sand, and which has been extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar to which has been added (beet) molasses obtained in the extraction of sugar. (Proposed 1976, Published 1977)
63.38 Beet pulp, dried product CSF, RNS
