A process for reducing microbial growth in solutions of sugars extracted from waste materials, the process comprising monitoring indicators of microbial growth in the solution in situ and administering an antimicrobial; a sugar substrate obtained by concentrating a solution of sugar treated using the process; an apparatus for extracting sugars from waste materials, the apparatus comprising a reaction vessel (10), one or more sensors (15,20) for monitoring indicators of microbial growth in the reaction vessel, a software for analysing signals from the sensor and a source of antimicrobial. L'invention concerne un procédé de réduction de la croissance microbienne dans des solutions de sucres extraits de déchets, le procédé comprenant la surveillance d'indicateurs de croissance microbienne dans la solution in situ et l'administration d'un antimicrobien ; un substrat de sucre obtenu par concentration d'une solution de sucre traitée à l'aide du procédé ; un appareil pour extraire des sucres de déchets, l'appareil comprenant un récipient de réaction (10), un ou plusieurs capteurs (15, 20) pour surveiller des indicateurs de croissance microbienne dans le récipient de réaction, un logiciel pour analyser des signaux provenant du capteur et une source d'agent antimicrobien.
