Cane juice

The first use of steam power as a replacement for the animal or human power that drove the cane mills occurred in Jamaica in 1768. This first attempt worked only a short time, but steam drive was used successfully a few years later in Cuba. Steam drive for the mills soon spread throughout the world. The use of steam instead of direct firing was soon appHed to the evaporating of the cane juice. 

The manufacture of sugar was early understood to be an energy-intensive process. Cuba was essentially deforested to obtain the wood that fueled the evaporation of water from the cane juice. When the forests were gone, the bagasse burner was developed to use the dry cane pulp, called bagasse, for fuel. Bagasse was no longer a waste product its minimal value is the cost of its replacement as fuel. 

High test molasses is not a residual material, but cane juice, sometimes partly clarified, concentrated by evaporation, with at least half its sucrose hydrolyzed to invert (glucose and fmctose) by heating at the low juice pH (5.5).

CANE JUICE The soluble solids (and some fine particulates in suspension) extracted from chopped cane by crushing (milling) or diffusion in a countercurrent hot water (neutral or slightly acidic pH) process. A small amount of soluble solids remains in the spent crushed cane (bagasse).

C18-0020. Glycolic acid (HOCH2 CO2 H), a constituent of sugar cane juice, has a p Zg of 3.9. Sketch the titration curve for the titration of 60.0 mL of 0.010 M glycolic acid with 0.050 M KOH. Indicate the stoichiometric point, the buffer region, and the point of the titration where pH- p. S a. Sketch the curve qualitatively without doing any quantitative calculations. 

The species commonly encountered in sugar-cane juice is Leuconostoc esenteroides. The cells are surrounded by a thick, gelatinous, colorless polysaccharide consisting of dextran (glucose poiymer). 

C. A. Browne12 studied the cellulosio material obtained by fermentation of Louisiana sugar cane juice. His results substantiated those of A. J. Brown, and he further showed that since the nitrogen content of the membranes was only 0.2%, chitin could only be present with the cellulose membrane in traces, if at all.

Fermenting grains with yeast produces a grain alcohol. The process also works with other biomass feedstocks. In fermentation, the yeast decomposes carbohydrates which are starches in grains, or sugar from sugar cane juice into ethyl alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide. The process breaks down complex substances into simpler ones.

Alumina and Sulphate of Lime.—The alumina obtained from two pounds of alum by precipitation aloug with sulphate of lime, by means of carbonate of lime in suspension, Is washed by decantation and added to one hundred gallons of cane juice. When tho temperature of tire simp has reached 150°, lime is added to neutralization and the juice is then filtered.
