Cane sugar Sources

Molasses (Treacle). There are several types of molasses, differing as to method of prepn and source whether from beet root or cane sugar. 

Honey and maple syrup are complex products of high market price (813C — 23%o). The main source of adulteration is cheap high fructose corn syrup (813C — 13%o) or cane sugar (813C —ll%o) and the adulterated product is easily detected at levels as low as 10% or so of added sugar.

Traditionally, raw sugar is produced at the cane mill and refined sugar is produced at a refinery, usually far removed from the source of the raw sugar, and close to areas of consumption. Figure 35.1 is a generalized flow diagram for the manufacture of raw cane sugar. In summary, the juice is extracted from the harvested cane stalks, the juice is purified (clarified), concentrated by vacuum evaporation, and crystallized. The several steps are described in the sections that follow.

This source also sells kava candy, with a soft center made from a 55% Vanuatu kava extract and sweetened with Fijian cane sugar. Excellent for a quick calm-down or even a scratchy throat. ... 

Considerable specificity is shown in the adsorption characteristics of colloids from different sources. Thus carbon R removed more colloids from a cane sugar syrup, whereas, carbon T was more effective for a beet sugar syrup. The adsorptive power of a carbon for colloids is usually increased by pulverizing it to a small particle size. 

Mannitol, sucrose (cane sugar) and glucose (corn sugar) are the best sugars used by the fungus for a carbon source. Mannitol maybe sterilized by autoclave. Sucrose and glucose should be Seitz filtered or they will produce lower levels of alkaloids. Sorbitol cuts alkaloid production in half and maltose drops alkaloid production to 1 /7 th that of mannitol. 

Recently, much attention has been given to the production of liquid sweeteners as an alternative to cane sugar using inexpensive starch-containing natural materials as the primary feed stock. This situation exists in the United States as this country is not self sufficient in the production of cane, but must rely heavily on importation mainly from South America and the Caribbean. The main source of sta rch in the United States comes from corn (Zea mays) and the liquid sweetener commercially produced from this material is called high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The current method of production of HFCS is via wet milling which exploits the physical properties of the whole corn constituents (oil, starch, gluten, and fiber) for their separation coupled with enzymatic hydrolysis of the starch fraction to monosaccharides.
