Received: 11 November 2020 Accepted: 29 December 2020 ABSTRACT: Sugarcane being a rich source of nutrients containing, phytocompounds, unique taste and aroma, where unrefined sugars (e.g. Panela) is produced from it. Panela is non-centrifugal cane sugar (NCS), a high carbohydrate-content food obtained by evaporation of water in sugarcane juice and is known by different name such as jaggery (South Asia), kokuto (Japan), Hakura (Srilanka), rapadura (Brazil), Gur/Desi (Pakistan) and Shekar sorkh/ Tabarzard (north of Iran). Despite the fact that panela has great properties and components, Panela is a relatively unknown product in Iran. According to the following literature review work and analysis provide and gain more information concerned with this product and its functional properties.

The Louisi- ana sugarcane industry is in its third century of existence, having celebrated its 200th year of continuous sugar production in 1995. Sugarcane is produced on more than 450,000 acres of land in 25 of the 64 Louisiana parishes. In 1999, total production of 15,982,000 tons of sugarcane yielded 1,675,000 tons of sugar.

  • Crop Profile for Sugarcane in Florida
    Crop Profile for Sugarcane in Florida Prepared: May 2008 Production Facts • In 2006, Florida ranked 1st nationally in value of sugar produced (approximately $425 million) from sugarcane, which accounted for 50 percent of the total U.S. value of sugar from sugarcane. This equates to over 20 percent of total sugar (from sugar beet + sugarcane) produced in the U.S. annually (1,2). • The southeast and Hawaii are the only areas in the U.S. where sugarcane is commercially planted. Approximately 400,000 acres of sugarcane are harvested in Florida annually, producing approximately 1.5 million tons of sugar (1,2). • Sugarcane is Florida’s most valuable field crop, worth more than the combined value of the Florida-grown corn, soybean, tobacco, and peanut crops. The crop ranks third in Florida’s agricultural economy, behind the greenhouse/nursery and citrus industries (2). • All Florida sugarcane travels to one of the five mills that operate in southern Florida. The corporate growers comprise about two-thirds of the cane, while cooperative mills comprise the remainder. The raw sugar travels by road, rail, or ship to refineries or it is marketed in its raw state (2). Production Regions Sugarcane is adapted to all portions of Florida. However, the commercial sugarcane industry is located in south Florida around the southern tip of Lake Okeechobee. The vast majority (70 percent of the acreage and 75 percent of the tonnage) of sugarcane is produced in Palm Beach County. The remainder is grown in the adjacent counties of Hendry, Glades, and Martin (2). While most sugarcane is grown on muck soils, approximately 20 percent is grown on sandy mineral soils (3).

  • Color and Ash – Is There a Relationship Between Them? Marianne Mckee
    Color and Ash – Is there a relationship between them? Marianne McKee, Ronnie Triche and Charley Richard Sugar Processing Research Institute, Inc New Orleans, La 70124 Many questions surround color and ash and a possible relationship between these two components of sugar. Color and ash content of beet and cane sugars including beet, juice, and extract campaign beet sugars as well as raw and refined cane sugars were studied. The appropriate ICUMSA method of determination for color and ash was used for each type of sugar. For beet sugars, ash ranged from 0.003% to 0.015% while color ranged from 20 IU to 57 IU. For the refined cane sugars tested, color ranged from 18 IU to 58 IU while ash ranged from 0.007% to 0.011%. Raw cane sugars ranged from 800 IU to 3335 IU with ash values of 0.173% to 0.317%. These sugars were washed using a high brix white sugar solution to remove the syrup surface layer similar to the affination step in the cane refinery. The samples were dried and then tested for ash and color again after washing. Color and ash removed by washing is believed to be contained in the syrup surface layer surrounding the crystal. These components in the syrup layer are believed to be involved in reactions that promote color increase during storage of sugar. This presentation will show the differences in ash and color in the whole sugar sample as well as in the syrup layer for the various types of sugars studied. INTRODUCTION One of the goals of sugar production is to produce sugar that is low in color and ash whether from sugar beets or sugarcane.

  • Effect of Sugarcane Juice Pre-Treatment on the Quality and Crystallization of Sugarcane Syrup (Treacle)
    cess Pro ing d & o o T F e c f h o n l o a l n o Journal of Food Processing & r g u y o J ISSN: 2157-7110 Technology Research Article Effect of Sugarcane Juice Pre-Treatment on the Quality and Crystallization of Sugarcane Syrup (Treacle) Waled M. Abdel-Aleem* Central Laboratory of Organic Agriculture, Agricultural Research Centre, Minia, Egypt ABSTRACT Treacle (black honey) is liquid syrup produced by heating and evaporation of sugarcane juice. It is rich in sugars including, sucrose, glucose, and fructose, which may crystallize during storage, especially at low temperatures. The crystallization of treacle was the main problem facing treacle producers in the Egyptian traditional food industry and affected negatively in the quality and consumer acceptability. Consequently, the aimed to investigate the effect of sugarcane juice pre-treatments, including the addition of citric acid at concentrations of (1, 2, and 3) g/l alone or in a combination with preheating at (60 or 70)°C for 1 h on physiochemical properties and crystallization of sugarcane syrup during storage for 60 days at room temperature. The results showed that these pre-treatments significantly affected the quality and properties of sugar cane syrup. The combination of the citric acid addition at a concentration of 1 g/l and preheat treatment at 70°C for 1 h resulted in syrup with the greatest overall acceptability. Also, these pre- treatments prevented the crystallization of the produced syrup during the storage for 60 days at room temperature (20 ± 5)°C. Therefore, pre-treatment of the sugar cane syrup with a combination of the citric acid addition and heating can be suggested as a promising method for producing a high-quality sugar can syrup and preventing syrup crystallization during storage and handling.

Abstract Objective: To compare the effect of sugar cane honey, ferrous sulfate oral solution and control on hemoglobin concentrations, and anemia prevalence in preschoolers. Methods: In a cluster-randomized clinical trial, we evaluated preschoolers aged 24-36 months. Intervention lasted 16 weeks. Children were cluster randomized to either sugar cane honey once daily (group A), 6mg/kg elemental iron once weekly (group B), or control (Group C). Primary outcome variables were change in hemoglobin concentration and anemia prevalence. Two biochemical evaluations were performed before and after intervention to determine hemoglobin concentrations. Results: Group A: at baseline mean hemoglobin concentration was 11.10±1.29g/dL and 11.60±0.72g/dL after intervention, p=.002; 12 out of 21 participants who were anemic at baseline had normal Hb levels after intervention. Relative risk (RR)=0.63, number needed to treat (NNT)=2. In group B, mean baseline hemoglobin was 11.19±1.42g/dL, and 12.04±0.96g/dL after intervention, p=.0003; 16 out of 20 participants who were anemic at baseline had normal Hb levels after intervention.
