“…All the clones showed decreasing trend in cane weight with increasing staling period from 1 st day to 5 th day. Cane weight loss is mainly attributed to evaporation loss and respiratory losses (Alexander, 1973).The results were in concurrence with the findings of Siddhant et al, (2008) (Table 4).…”

“…Cane weight loss is mainly attributed to evaporation loss and respiratory loss [4]. All the clones showed a decreasing trend in cane weight with an increase in staling period from 0 to 72 h. The results were similar to the findings of Siddhant et al [13] and Reddy et al [3]. However, higher fresh cane weight was recorded immediately after harvest at 0 hrs (1.50 kg) after 72 h single cane weight loss was observed indicating the effect of staling period on cane weight.…”

The present study was conducted with five promising early maturing sugarcane clones at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Rudrur [latitude of 18o-300' north and 77o-510' longitude to the east at an elevation of 404 m above mean sea level], Nizamabad district, T.S., India during Rabi 2014-15. The key objective of the present investigation was to study the impact of a delayed crush on postharvest deterioration of promising sugar cane clones. Different biochemical aspects like percent juice sucrose, commercial cane sugar percent, juice extraction percent and reducing sugars % were assayed from 0-72 h. The results of the study indicated that the clones such as Co 99004 and 2011 R 42 indicated the highest sucrose percent (22.29% & 20.87%) and CCS percent (15.84% & 14.87%) respectively, percent reduction in single cane weight of Co 99004 and 2010 R 305 (1.83 and 1.63) and juice extraction percent of clones 2010 R 305 & 2011 R1 were 55 & 53 percents respectively. Among the five clones tested 2010 R 305 maintained its cane quality up to 72 hours with minimum percent reduction of 4.05, 4.30, 2.80 and 4.25 for to sucrose content, CCS percent, juice extraction percent and percent reduction in single cane weight, respectively followed by 2011 R 1 and Co 99004. The Present study concluded that 2010 R 305 was found to possess tolerance to Post- harvest deterioration.

“…A very big difference in susceptibility to post-harvest deterioration has been noticed which is important in countries where there are prolonged harvest-to-milling delay. Sugarcane varieties, in addition to their inversion behavior may also have an effect on its susceptibility to Leuconostoc infection (Ahmad and Khan, 1988;Balusamy et al, 1990;Dendsay et al, 1992;Chiranjivi Rao, 1993;Uppal and Sharma, 1999;Solomon et al 1997;Uppal et al, 2000, Larrahondo et al, 2002; Sugarcane varieties have been evaluated for their post harvest performance under tropical and subtropical climate (Raja Rajeshwari et al, 2006;Siddhant et al 2008). The fibrous varieties show higher reduction in sucrose compared to less fibrous type.…”

Sugarcane is a perishable commodity and must be processed into sugar quickly after it is harvested. Post harvest sucrose losses have been reported from many cane producing countries and linked with low sugar recovery and several problems during sugar processing. Bio deterioration is associated with the inordinate delays between harvest to milling of sugarcane and aggravated by many intrinsic and extrinsic factors causing enormous depreciation in cane tonnage as well as sugar recovery. Besides harvest-to-mill delays, other factors such as ambient temperature, humidity, cane variety, period of storage, activities of invertases, maturity status etc. are responsible for decline in sugar recovery. The activity of invertases and proliferation of acid, ethanol and polysaccharides (dextran) producing microbes play a crucial role in the loss of recoverable sugars in cane and milled juice. In addition to loss in sugar recovery, its adverse affects has been noticed in the sugar manufacturing process and sucrose quality. Efforts have been made to reduce loss in tonnage and sucrose using physico-chemical methods. These include spraying of water, bactericidal solution, use of anti-inversion and anti-bacterial formulations and pre-harvest foliar and soil application of zinc and mangnous compounds. An integrated mill sanitation program and simultaneous use of dextranase could further improve sugar recovery and minimize problems caused by dextran. The possibility of electrolyzed water (EW) fogging to reduce post harvest deterioration in field and mill yard has also been explored. Some of these methods are useful and present larger options for the industry to minimize afterharvest quality losses in the field and milling tandem.
