A model for estimating color increase in refined sugar during storage
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The color of all types of sugar, including sugar from sugarcane and beet sugar, tends to increase during storage between production and shipment, and is influenced by sugar characteristics, storage conditions, and duration. This increase can be significant, impacting compliance with product specifications and the quantity of sugar available for sale
A modern energy efficient sugar complex on 26% steam consumption – concept to commissioning
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025A modern sugar complex with a crushing capacity of 7500 t cane/d with a steam demand of 26% on cane and steam consumption (260 kg of steam/t of cane) to save bagasse. The purpose of bagasse saving was to utilize it for paper production.
An improved electric drive for sugarcane preparation machines
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025An improved electric drive is presented for coupled motor-run sugarcane preparation machines in the sugar industry. The conventional slip ring induction motor (SRIM) drive has shortcomings of huge slip power loss, high drop in the rated speed, less flexibility for realizing optimum knife/hammer tip speed, low power factor, and unequal load sharing.
An innovative way for steam economy and capacity expansion by integrating an MVR in an evaporation scheme
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The sugar industry is an energy-intensive industry, with significant energy costs associated with the evaporation process. A novel energy saving scheme is introduced by integrating mechanical vapour recompression (MVR) technology into the evaporation stages of sugar production as the syrup concentrator.
Application of antimicrobial agents at minimum inhibitory concentration values for optimal control of microbial isolates from Louisiana sugarcane factories
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Microbial isolates from sugar crop-processing facilities were tested for susceptibility to industrial antimicrobial agents to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for optimal dosing. Hydritreat 2216 (peracetic acid) showed broad spectrum activity against all bacterial isolates as well as Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Application of near-infrared spectroscopy in the Louisiana sugarcane industry
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The implementation of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in the Louisiana (LA) sugarcane industry has made significant progress, offering a rapid and reliable approach to improve sugarcane quality assessments for factories and growers
Applications of machine learning to estimate economic impacts of starch and dextran on sugar manufacturing
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Polysaccharide contamination (e.g., starch, dextran) is among the leading causes of decreased sucrose yields from sugarcane processing. Although there is a wide body of literature on management and mitigation strategies, there is little quantification of the associated economic impact of polysaccharides relating to recoverable sucrose losses.
Automatic handling of soft cane in the factory
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025This study was undertaken to address concerns that many cane varieties in the development pipeline in Australia have fibre quality classified as soft, with some soft enough to cause processing problems in the factory. Where soft canes have been approved for production, the factory has to have a strategy to process them.
Bagasse drying using boiler flue gas – waste heat recovery
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The concept of drying bagasse with flue gas was introduced to improve the utilization of waste heat from sugar mill boilers, thereby improving boiler performance and fuel saving. A demonstration project of a flash-drying system with a 10.0 t/h capacity was tested in 2009 in India, where bagasse was dried in a co-current flow in the flash tube with part flue gas from a 70 t/h boiler and then passing through cyclonic separators.
