Technology for
clarification of sugar cane juice to prepare cane syrup |
|
(technology
abstract) |
|
|
|
Sugar cane juice is an opaque viscous liquid; its viscosity
owing to the presence of colloids as waxes, proteins, pentosans,
gums, starch and silica. Its color varies from light gray to
dark green, due to chlorophyll, xanthophyll, anthocynin,
saccharetin, and tannins. It contains in solution all the
soluble substances like sucrose, fine particles of bagasse, wax,
clay (adhering to the cane), coloring matter and albumen. Then
there might be dextrans & levans-- gummy compounds, not normal
constituents of the juice, but may be formed by the action of
bacteria. |

Removal of
impurities in cane juice without using chemicals is a
challenging task. Several methods have been tried for this such
as—flocculation, resins, membrane separation, electrolytes,
surfactants, bleaching agents, viscosity modifiers and other
chemicals.

To
guarantee satisfactory cane syrup quality, it is critical to ensure
that the clarification step results in a juice of consistently
high clarity and right taste and flavor. This poses a continuous challenge
owing to large variations in the incoming juice characteristics
because of differences in cane variety, soil and growing
conditions, weather patterns and season as well as periodic
fluctuations in the manufacturing process itself. Unscientific clarification step is incapable of removing
colloidal and dissolved impurities thus imparting turbidity and
a dark, brownish yellow color to the clarified juice and if
chemicals are used for clarification then cane syrup
becomes unhealthy.
To
overcome these limitations, Sugarindia has developed a process for natural decolorization of
sugarcane juice to achieve ideal taste and flavor for cane syrup
without compromising on the health properties of the cane syrup.
