“…In the production of crystal sugar, especially white sugar, an essential variable in the industrial process is the content of reducing sugars (for glucose and fructose in sugarcane see Xiao et al (2017) [ 26 ] and Misra et al (2022) [ 27 ]. Since commercial crystal sugar contains at least 99.3% of sucrose, the total glucose and fructose contents (i.e., reducing sugars) should be as low as possible.…”

“…A possible increase in the reducing sugar content may be a consequence of two physiological factors: first, the sugarcane is still at an early physiological state or immature or in an advanced state of maturity or ageing; this increase may be associated with the action of hydrolytic enzymatic extracts from the sugarcane itself or to microorganisms presence that degrade sucrose as a carbon source for its development or production of protective metabolites, such as organic acids, exopolysaccharides (levan, dextran, etc.) [ 26 , 27 ]. According to the data obtained for the sugarcane juice used in the trials, the reducing sugar content was 1.32 ± 0.10 wt%, which is within the expected range of reducing sugars, i.e., 0.50 to 1.50 wt%.…”

“…The NCS from JP-Okinawa4 contained the highest amount of acetic acid, followed by JP-Okinawa2 and ID-East Java. Acetic acid, which may provide a pungent odor [ 40 ], is present in NCS because of microbiological fermentation occurring during the lag time in raw cane juice storage before the evaporation process [ 41 ]. This compositional outcome was also confirmed through a PCA plot, wherein JP-Okinawa4 was distinct from other NCS products owing to the high concentration of acetic acid.…”

Non-centrifugal cane sugar (NCS) is an unrefined dehydrated form of sugar syrup produced worldwide. To date, there is a lack of differentiation in the key nutrients and flavor qualities of NCS products among countries, which makes it difficult for interested parties to select NCSs suitable for their needs. This study aimed to evaluate the minerals and volatile organic components (VOCs) in NCS products from Japan and ASEAN countries. Mineral components were determined using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). VOCs and their aroma profiles were examined using gas chromatography–mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS) and MS-e-nose analyses, respectively. The total minerals content in Japanese NCSs ranged from 228.58 to 1347.53 mg/100 g, comprising K, Ca, Mg, P, and Na (69.1, 16.6, 7.9, 4.5, and 3.2%, respectively); their average total amounts were as high as those of Malaysia and Indonesia origins (962.87, 984.67, and 928.47 mg/100 g, respectively). Forty-four VOCs were identified, of which concentrations of pyrazines, furans, and pyranones varied significantly among the NCSs. Additionally, the MS-e-nose analysis provided a multivariate differentiation profile of the NCS products based on differences in the intensities of the VOC ion masses. Nine statistical clusters were presented, wherein certain NCS products of ASEAN origin had volatile profiles comparable to those of the Japanese products. These outcomes suggest that the origin of production greatly influences the mineral and VOC compositions of NCS, affecting their quality traits.

“…Another vital factor that causes losses is the technical factors of the sugarcane mill. (Afsharnia et al, 2021;Misra et al, 2022). The breakdown of the mill's milling machine caused a delay in the milling schedule of up to one week.…”

The sugarcane based sugar industry is a source of income for sugarcane farmers and workers in the industry. However, farmers often complain about the high price and cost of farming, which result in a decrease in the quality of sugarcane. The survival of sugarcane farmers is threatened, including those in Kampung Beru Village as one of the largest suppliers of sugarcane for Takalar Sugar Factory. This study aims to explore the competitiveness of sugarcane farming based on competitive and comparative advantages. Data collection was carried out through interviews and focus group discussion (FGD) involving 76 farmers. Policy analysis matrix (PAM) was utilized for data analysis. The results showed that the private cost ratio (PCR) value, an indicator of competitive advantage, was >1 (1.048), suggesting that sugarcane farming does not have a competitive advantage. Domestic resource cost ratio (DRCR) as an indicator of comparative advantage had a value of >1 (1.795), indicating that sugarcane farming also has no comparative advantage. Sugarcane farming has extremely low competitiveness. Hence, the government is advised to increase sugarcane productivity by conducting campaigns to use superior seeds, increase the efficiency of production facilities, revise purchase price standards, and regulate the marketing system.JEL Classification A10; B40; B55
