An effective extraction of the fiberized cane juice has been obtained from a prepared extraction column. Oligosaccharides co~nposed of glucose and fructose were found in both cane juice and in raw sugar. The oligosaccharides found In the juice and raw sugar were probably produced by enzymatic or bacterial reactions occurring in cane which had had a delay of 24 h or Inore between cutting and pro...

Thirty newly diagnosed patients with Crohn's disease were interviewed about their habitual, pre-illness diet and compared with 30 healthy controls, matched for age, sex, social class, and marital status. The patients ate substantially more refined sugar, slightly less dietary fibre, and considerably less raw fruit and vegetables than the controls. A diet high in refined sugar and low in raw fru...

The investigation into the filterability of raw sugar was In response to occasional complaints from customers, attention has focused on the filtration behaviour of raw sugars. Offending sugars, together with several others, were extensively analysed to establish the probable causes of the problem. Parameters correlating most strongly with poor filterability were turbidity and soluble phosphate ...

A considerable amount of South African raw sugar is sold to export markets. Consistently good filterability of this sugar is important for satisfying the requirements of customers. To the refiner, the filterability of raw melt is important as this affects refinery throughput. Analysis of filtrationimpeding impurities in raw sugar has shown that, among other things, poor juice clarification coul...

short growing season in cold regions is an important factor in not achieving a maximum root yield in sugar beet crop. in an investigation on possible ways to limit the effect of short season culture on the crop, six harvest dates and three sugar beet varieties were considered. the experiment was conducted as a factorial with randomized complete block design in three replications, from 1996-1998...

The analysis of starch in factory streams and products is tedious and time consuming. It is not surprising, therefore, that only one South African sugar mill laboratory currently analyses the factory streams for seasonal starch levels and trends. This essentially means that high starch levels are picked up only in the final raw sugar, causing an uncomfortable delay between detection and applica...

Raw sugar colour is an increasing sugar quality concern, not because of a decline in the quality of South African very high pol raws but rather due to rapid improvements in the raw house colours in the rest of the world. Technically, raw sugar with lower colour has direct implications for the refiner’s effort and cost of processing that sugar. Enormous benefits could be derived if colourants co...
