Some Downstream Effects Resulting from Diffusion Compared with Milling as Published by the South African Sugar Industry
نویسنده
چکیده
The South African sugar industry can be regarded as mainly a diffusion industry with 76% of all cane now handled by diffusers. With the conversion from milling to diffusion, concerns were expressed that higher temperatures, imbibition levels and improved extraction in itselfwould result in various processing difficulties. Among these were expected clarification problems associated with the extraction of gums, waxes and starch and the production of more molasses due to non-sucrose extraction. The effect on sugar quality was another unknown.
