Analysis of Sugarcane Juice Quality Indexes

Abstract

The analysis of the quality indexes of sugarcane juice plays a vital role in the process of refining sugarcane, breeding, cultivation, and production management. The paper analyzes the dynamic laws of five quality indexes (i.e., brix, purity, polarization, sucrose content, and reducing sugar) combined with graphs over time along the course of crushing season (December-March) in Guangxi province of China. During this time, the sugarcane is in the mature stage and hypermature stage. At the beginning of December to early January, during which sugarcane is in the later stage of maturity, the nutrients are accumulating, causing brix, purity, polarization, and sucrose content increase. At the beginning of January to mid-February, due to low temperature and insufficient light, it is not conducive to accumulation of nutrients. However, there is the so-called "sugar back" phenomenon and reducing sugar rises gradually in March, leading to deterioration of the quality of sugarcane juice. The results show that timely harvest of sugarcane is beneficial for sugar making. The regression analysis results show that some of quality indexes have strong correlation between them and the regression models are extremely significant, indicating that the prediction results are ideal.

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) sap as a potential source of sugar: Antioxidant and nutritional properties

“…The TSS content of coconut sap was found to be 12.40 ± 1.14°Brix (Table ) which was in the range of 12–14°Brix as reported by Bipasa () and Hebbar et al (). The TSS value of sugarcane juice (14.40°Brix) was also in the range of 14–16°Brix as reported by Xiao, Liao, and Guo (). Overall, the TSS of coconut sap was the lowest as compared to sugar palm and sugarcane juices.…”

Sugarcane juice stability in plastic bottle treated with silver and zinc oxide

“…Xiao et al evaluated some quality indexes of cane juice from March through December. The soluble solid values reported for the processed juice were lower (15.4 to 16.8 °Brix) than those from this study.…”

ANALISIS MUTU GULA TANJUNG DARI TIGA VARIETAS TEBU / Analysis of Tanjung Sugar Quality of Three Sugarcane Varieties

“…Setiap varietas tebu mempunyai brix yang berbeda, Abdurrakhman et al (2018) melaporkan klonklon tebu yang ditanam di lahan kering mempunyai nilai brix yang berbeda. Selain varietas, mutu nira (brix) juga dapat dipengaruhi suhu dan kelembaban udara pada waktu dipanen (Xiao et al 2017). Proses pembuatan gula tanjung pada penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei 2018 dengan kondisi ratarata curah hujan 2.19 milimeter/hari dan suhu 27 0 C. Musim giling tebu untuk mendapatkan hasil rendemen optimal dimulai pada bulan yang sudah tidak ada hujan.…”
