“…Singh et al, [4] mentioned the importance of jaggery in India in their paper entitled 'Alternative sweeteners production from sugarcane in India: Lump Sugar (Jaggery). They stated that sugar and jaggery are the main sweetening agents which are added to beverage and foods for increasing palatability.…”

Jaggery is sugarcane based natural sweetener made by the concentration of sugarcane juice without any use of chemicals. It is available in the form of solid blocks and in semi-liquid form. Besides this, the sap collected from some palm trees such as palmyra-palm (Borassus flabellifer L.), coconut-palm (Cocos nucifera L.), wild date-palm (Phoenix sylvestris Roxb.) and sagopalm (Caryota urens L.) is used for preparation of jaggery. It contains the natural sources of minerals and vitamins inherently present in sugarcane juice and it is one of the most wholesome and healthy sugars in the world. The micro nutrients present in the jaggery possess antitoxic and anti-carcinogenic properties. In India, of the 300 Mt of sugarcane produced, 53% is processed into white sugar, 36% into jaggery and khandsari, 3% for chewing as cane juice and 8% as seed cane. The methods of converting sugarcane and manufacturing sugar, gur and khandsari are different but a great value is added in the manufacturing of these consumable final products. Further it offers employment opportunity to millions of people. Of the total world production, more than 70% of the jaggery is produced in India but most of the jaggery business suffers from losses. The development of different value added products from jaggery and their commercial availability becomes needs of the hour to sustain future profitability in the jaggery trade.

“…It is a rich mixture of essential nutrients and is therefore considered as the healthiest kind of sugar for human consumption [1]. The processing of NCS is a continuous process of heat and mass transfer involving clarification, boiling and concentration of sugarcane juice [2]. A traditional NCS production unit typically consists of a sugarcane juice crusher, an underground furnace fitted with single or multi-pan systems, where the water is evaporated to concentrate the juice to produce NCS [3] [4].…”

The quality and shelf-life of NCS (Non-centrifugal sugar) mainly depend on the moisture content present in it. NCS formed by the current practice of open sun drying contains moisture substantially greater than the acceptable level of 3%. This paper presents the work taken up to design a tunnel dryer to attain require moisture content in granular NCS for various load conditions. Initially, an experimental investigation had been carried out on a laboratory scale dryer to achieve required moisture content (< 3%) for various load conditions. This experimental data was used for validating two drying models and found that one of the models is best suitable for designing an industrial-scale dryer. For various load conditions on each tray and dryer exit temperature, nine different cases were arrived at. The number of trucks, trays, drying time and energy requirements were computed using the suitable theoretical model. Tunnel dryer with a length of 18 m, a height of 1.2 m, a width of 1 m, number of trucks of 18 and 24 number of trays on each truck was found to be the suitable dryer to dry 1 tone of NCS based on the minimum energy requirement of 176.49 MJ, and a minimum drying time of 68 minutes.

“…Sugarcane farmers are frequently using toxic chemicals to control the insect pest population. Due to the frequent usage of insecticides, insects are becoming tolerant against chemicals (Singh et al, 2011). Usage of excessive insecticides are threatened to the health of sugarcane farmers and also kill natural enemies of the pest as well as disturb the natural ecosystem.…”

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a suitable technique used to control insect pest and to protect the environment for the betterment of human health. It is a combination of biological, chemical, cultural and mechanical methods. All these methods are essentially integrated with each other. The purpose of the study was to identify coping strategies against sugarcane insect pest with special reference to integrated pest management that imparts proper awareness training programs for sugarcane growers. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups, adopters and non-adopters, regarding cultural, mechanical and biological control. The results revealed that the majority of the respondents were unable to practice IPM due to lack of technical knowledge, practical skills and awareness related to the identification of sugarcane pest and their management. The study recommended that awareness regarding integrated pest management should be promoted through proper campaigns to mitigate insect pest of sugarcane, through IPM.
