“…Sugarcane is a biological complex from the Poaceae kingdom, widely spread worldwide and focus of many studies, in particular for seletive breeding to increase productivity, pests and diseases resistance, susceptibility to drought (Cursi et al, 2022), but few are dedicated to understanding the enzymatic processes in the sugarcane juice browning and their impact on the white sugar quality. Our group has been studying ways to coloration reduction of sugarcane juice (Ogando et al, 2021;Magri et al, 2019), but had not yet tried to understand the mechanisms that cause the coloration formation. We also reported on the environmental conditions that promote color formation in sugar during storage (Aguiar et al, 2015).…”
