The Physiology of Sugar-Cane V. Kinetics of Sugar Accumulation

Sugar accumulation by sugar-cane storage tissue: the role of sucrose phosphate.

Leaf Temperatures of Sugar Cane.

Since the results in the literature are at considerable variance regarding leaf temperatures with reference to the surrounding air temperature, the writer thought it would be of interest to check some leaf temperatures in a different section of the country from those previously reported. The investigations of CURTIS (2) were performed at Berkeley and Riverside, California, and those of CLUM (1)...

The Biosynthesis of Starch in Sugar Cane

Althougll starch poses a problem in the factory by retarding filtration and crystallization rates of cane juices (Balch, 1953; Feulherade, ~gzg) , little attention has been given the mechanisms of starch formation in sugarcane. Of further importance is the knowledge that both glucose-I-phosphate* and uridine diphospl~oglucose, themselves major precursors of sucrose, are also involved in starch ...

The Lubrication of Cane Sugar Machinery

-This IS a subject which does not at first sight appear to be of major importance in Cane Sugar Factory operation nor possibly of sufficient interest to warrant intensive thought on the part of the Engineer whose duty it is to keep machinery run"ning at all costs. Lubrication is only too often regarded as a necessary evil-a messy, troublesome -subject only to be tackled as and when hitches occu...

Effect of Storage Temperature and Light on the Freeze-Dried Amino Acids from Sugar Beet and Sugar Cane Molasses

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...
