Evaluation of a near Infrared Spectrometer for the Direct Analysis of Sugar Cane
نویسندگان
چکیده
A FOSS InfraCana Near Infrared (NIR) spectrometer was installed at a Louisiana mill for the 2001/02 crushing season to assess its suitability for direct analysis of cane delivered to the mill. Analysis of cane by both wet disintegration and core press methods were used as the primary measurements. Calibration equations for pol, brix, fiber, moisture and ash in cane were produced. Values of standard error were excellent, and the prospects for the use of such an instrument for the accurate direct analysis of cane look promising.

In South Africa (SA), individual consignments of shredded cane are analysed by the direct analysis of cane method (DAC). Although this procedure is capable of producing excellent sampling and accurate analysis of consignments, it is labour intensive. NIR has been used by several sugar industries for determining cane quality for cane payment purposes. Earlier work in SA indicated that At-line NI...
متن کاملUse of Response Surface Methodology Analysis for Xanthan Biopolymer Production by Xanthomonas campestris: Focus on Agitation Rate, Carbon Source, and Temperature
The current study is an attempt to contribute for efficient and cost-effective substrates for xanthan gum production. In this context, the sugar cane molasses wastes can be used as a cheap substrate for xanthan gum production. Xanthan biopolymer production by a novel Xanthomonas campestris strain IBRC-M 10644 was optimized with statistical approaches. Based on the results ...
