  Franz Karl Achard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franz Karl Achard (April 28, 1753, Berlin - April 20, 1821, Wohlau-Cunern) was a German (Prussian) chemist, physicist and biologist.
Achard was born in Berlin, the son of preacher Max Guillaume Achard and his wife Marguerite Elisabeth (Rouppert).
Achard was a favorite of King Frederick II of Prussia, and was directly reported to the King on his research twice a week.

 Sugar beet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prussian chemist Andreas Sigismund Marggraf used alcohol to extract sugar from beets (and carrots) in 1747, but his methods did not lend themselves to economical industrial-scale production.
His former pupil and successor Franz Carl Achard began selectively breeding sugar beet from the White Silesian fodder beet in 1784.
By the beginning of the 19th century, his beet was approximately 5–6% sucrose by weight, compared to around 20% in modern varieties.

Starting in 1784, Franz Carl Achard (1753-1821) cultivated the sugar beet from the fodder beet.
The world's first two beet sugar factories were built under the direction of Franz Carl Achard in Silesia (1801 in Cunern, 1805 in Krayn).
They were not economically successful, but their operation provided decisive proof that sugar could be produced on an industrial scale even on European soil by using beets.

 Stephen Nottingham: Beetroot - Chapter 2
Marggraf’s student, Franz Carl Achard (1753-1821), was the first person to select and process beets specifically to produce sugar.
Achard presented the King of Prussia, Frederick William III, with a sugarloaf made from beet in 1799 and requested the funding necessary to start large-scale sugar production.
Despite technical difficulties and delays, Achard obtained levels of sugar (around 4 to 6% in fresh roots) that were sufficient to attract commercial interest.

 Sugar Museum Berlin
Berlin was the scene of the most important events in the history of beet sugar: it was here, in 1747, that Andreas Sigismund Marggraf, the best known chemist of his time in the German-speaking area, discovered sugar in the mangelwurzel.
His student and successor in office, Franz Carl Achard, continued his work and produced, in 1798, in what is today Berlin-Kaulsdorf, the first beet sugar.
The first sugar institute in the world was founded in Berlin in 1867 under Carl Scheibler; it was at the same time the oldest institute of the food industry and lasted for 111 years.

In 1799 one of Maggraf's students, Franz Carl Achard, developed a practical method of removing sugar from sugar beets.
Achard's achievement was much appreciated by King Frederick William IV of Prussia and the Anti-Slavery Movement.
The king gave him a grant of land and a gratuity, so Achard could carry on with his work.

He simply published his findings, while Marggraf's student, Franz Carl Achard, later hybridized the first sugar beet for extraction.
Well, the blockade, which England's fleets maintained against France during the Napoleonic Wars, disrupted the French cane sugar trade out of the Caribbean so badly that Napoleon was forced to consider the Prussian sugar beet method in order to provide his sweet-toothed nation with sugar.
He liked the "Achard method" so much that, in 1811, Napoleon declared that France could do away with all international sugar trade.

But no practical use was made of the discovery during his lifetime.
The first to establish a beet-sugar factory was his pupil and successor, Franz Carl Achard, at Cunern (near Breslau) in Silesia in 18or.

The extraction of sugar from beets, for example, which had been initiated by Marggraf in the 1840s, was pursued by German chemists.
Most successful was Franz Carl Achard (1753-1821), who in the 1790s received a salary and an estate from the Prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm II to establish a sugar manufacture.
In the royal manufactures of France, many chemists held leading positions as inspectors.
