water and soil salinity in some regions of isfahan, east azerbaijan, and west azerbaijan provinces and also other parts of the iran are the main hindrance for crop planting. seeds of the tolerant crops to salinity such as cotton and sugar beet may have optimal germination and give acceptable performance if they become far from salt accumulation areas. to evaluate the effects of different planti...

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...

due to the scarcity of water resources, the need for sustainable development of drip irrigation tape is essential in iran. a number of drip irrigation tape systems used in sugar beet fields of isfahan and chahar mahal va bakhtiari provinces were evaluated and were compared with furrow irrigation methods in two consecutive years. the actual water use efficiency (wuesy, wuewsy) in lower quarter, ...

in order to study the effects of different irrigation system and different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and quality of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at ekbatan research station, hamedan during 2005-2006 as split plot based on randomized complete block design  with three replications. the main plots were irrigation systems (furrow, sprinkler and drip irrigation) and subplots...

The options and prospects for the direct production of white sugar in a cane sugar mill are reviewed. Plantation white sugar has been made for many years in some countries but cannot meet the requirements for refined sugars. These low colour sugars are now a popular quality raw sugar for the increasing number of destination refineries. Attainment of refined sugar standards needs the application...

Water is a major constituent of food products even if it is present at a trace level as in white crystalline sugar. Molecular interactions between sugar and water are at the origin of structural as well as mechanical properties (density, compressibility, flow) of bulk sugar. Conditioning of white sugar is therefore difficult because it is sensitive to relative humidity and temperature of surrou...
