A trickle irrigation experiment on sugarcane was established in October 1985 on the SASA Experiment Station farm at Shakaskraal. The objectives were to establish suitable operating procedures, to measure cane yield potential, and to study the effects of factors such as fertigation and crop row spacingon yieldsoftrickle irrigated sugarcane. The results ofthe plant and first ratoon crops of this ...

Greater competitiveness and deregulation in agribusiness and the food industry require new forms of co-ordination between farmers and their clients to increase the efficiency and profitability of the supply chain. Various co-ordination processes are used by processing firms to control the quantity and quality of their raw material. In the sugar industry, millers plan their cane supply to ensure...

The application of tracer techniques to the sugar industry is reviewed. This includes the investigation of residence time distribution in clarifiers, evaporators, continuous pans, crystallizers and fluidized bed dryers; the flow split in diffusers and evaporator vessels; leak detection; measurement of entrainment in vacuum pans and determination of system volumes such as cooling water ponds.

build full size prototypes and test and measure the stresses (with strain gauges, etc) A general overview of the use of the Finite Element Method (FEM) is given. It describes how FEM supplements industry use FEM. design codes when dealing with non-standard shapes or The first mentioned choice is on one hand risky and on the complex loading conditions. It covers the reasons for the use other may...

BACKGROUND In March, 2016, the UK Government proposed a tiered levy on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs; high tax for drinks with >8 g of sugar per 100 mL, moderate tax for 5-8 g, and no tax for <5 g). We estimate the effect of possible industry responses to the levy on obesity, diabetes, and dental caries. METHODS We modelled three possible industry responses: reformulation to reduce sugar co...

It is well established that carbohydrate solutions can improve the performance in prolonged exercise. The aim of this study was to compare the impact of sugar and glucose solutions on exercise performance of swimmers. Twelve male teenager elite Iranian swimmers aged 12-17 years from Waterpolo Team of Ahvaz Oil Industry participated in a double-blind cross-over trial. They consumed three oral 6%...

Raw cane sugar is one of the most important product in the sugar industry and is the main raw material for the white sugar production. Morphological and physical properties of this product might influence the final white sugar. For instance, the behavior during centrifugation, transport and storage is related to the characteristics of these crystals. The object of this study was to determine th...

The history of the sugar industry in Natal has shown that enormous advances have taken place both in capacity and te2hnology of plants. Recent years in particular have seen a marked upward surge in the graph of production an achievement due in no small way to the dedicated efforts of chemists and engineers in charge of the operation and expansion of sugar factories. It is perhaps typical of suc...
