The paper will explore the ecological impact of sugar industry, using the Sustainable Process Index (SPI). This evaluation reveals weak points in the conventional sugar process, especially in the energy provision. Modification of the process utilising by-products and farm residues can considerably lower the environmental impact of the sugar sector. This is also interesting from the point of vie...

The supply chain of the conventional Australian sugar industry is characterized by horizontal separation between the stages. Often antagonistic relations between segments, particularly farmers and millers, led to each developing their systems for their own segment’s benefit, without reference to the wider industry interests. Cane growing developed into a monoculture, reliant on material inputs ...

In the tequila industry, fermentation is traditionally achieved at sugar concentrations ranging from 50 to 100 g x L(-1). In this work, the behaviour of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (isolated from the juices of the Agave tequilana Weber blue variety) during the agave juice fermentation is compared at different sugar concentrations to determine if it is feasible for the industry to run fer...

determination of the amount of sugar in sugar beet is usually accomplished by polarimetric method in sugar industry. this method is not accurate due to impurities such as sodium, potassium and amino-nitrogen that are present and might cause some errors in the evaluation of the technical quality of sugar beet. in this research, 7309 samples of sugar beet from two semi- arid county, isfahan and c...

Molasses is a significant by-product of sugar beet or sugar cane refining industry. In this work, the effects of storage temperature and packaging on the contents of free amino acids (AAs) in sugar beet and sugar cane molasses after freeze drying were inquired. The effect of different variables such as, temperature (4 and 25˚C) and light (Metallized polypropylene container and Normal polypropyl...
