The supply chain of the conventional Australian sugar industry is characterized by horizontal separation between the stages. Often antagonistic relations between segments, particularly farmers and millers, led to each developing their systems for their own segment’s benefit, without reference to the wider industry interests. Cane growing developed into a monoculture, reliant on material inputs ...

Human interference in production systems becomes feasible through the use of specific devices that, among other functions, allow monitoring, control and optimization processes. One drawbacks encountered sugar ethanol industry is lack instruments for measurement °Brix concentration sugarcane that are low-cost non-destructive. The monitoring cane necessary to identify appropriate time harvesting ...

Sugar industry is an oldest accommodates industry in the world. It required and discharges a large amount of water for processing. Removal of chemical oxygen demand and color through the electrochemical process including hybrid iron and aluminum electrode was examined for the treatment of cane-based sugar industry wastewater. Most favorable condition at pH 6.5, inter-electrode gap 20 mm, curren...

background: l-tryptophan is used widespread in the pharmaceutical industry. the majority of l-trp production depends on microbial processes that produce l-tryptophan from indole and l-serine. these processes are very costly due to the costs of precursors, especially l-serine. use of inexpensive substitutions as the l-serine source of l-tryptophan production enables us to reach a cost-effective ...

In this paper the term “new separation technologies” will be applied to the concepts being proposed for significant improvement of either recovery or sugar quality in the cane industry. Most new technologies comprise the unit operations using ion exchange and chromatographic resins and/or membrane filtration processes. These processes have been attracting the attention of sugar researchers for ...

A review of nitrogen (N) fertiliser management in the Australian sugar industry was undertaken to identify new strategies to improve N fertiliser use efficiency and to fill gaps in knowledge relevant to N fertiliser management. The Australian sugar industry has a history of high N fertiliser usage, with applications increasing from the 1960s to the late 1990s. However, industry average sugarcan...

Pacific Economic Bulletin Volume 24 number 2 July 2009 © the australian national university The phased removal of European sugar preferences has cast a dark cloud over the sustainability of Fiji’s sugar industry. Using farm-level data, this article examines the extent to which IndoFijian farmers are technically efficient and the challenges faced in improving cane yields to offset the loss of EU...
