The
sugar which is a Carbo-hydrate is obtained from sugar cane
and is known as Cane Sugar. It contains 99.50% sucrose. Actually
cane sugar is chemically known as Sucrose which is disaccharide.
It is soluble in water. Sucrose is dextrorotatory on hydrolysis
which is chemically known as inversion, it yield a mixture
of Glucose and Fructose. Glucose and Fructose both are monosaccharide
and are levorotatory. Sugar is essential part of human diet
hence it comes under essential commodity. This sugar when
heated to 180°C yield amorphous brown syrupy substance
called caramel which is used as a colorant in food products
and drinks. The sugar is having multiple uses. It can be used
as a row material in fermentation industry to produce Ethyl
Alcohol, Butyl Alcohol, Glycerin and Citric Acid.

Bagasse
is the residue obtained from crushing cane in the mills. It
contains about 50% moisture and 2% sugar and the balance is
fiber. It is also very commonly used as fuel in boilers in the
Sugar Factory. Bagasse is used as a row material for the production
of Cellulose, Furfural, Paper, Particle board, Cattle feed etc.

Molasses
which is also known as black strap molasses or treacle is a
dark brown viscous liquid obtained as a by-product in processing
Cane Sugar. It contains nearly 45% uncrystallized, fermentable
Sugar & some Sucrose. It is a valued by-product of foreign
liquor, as a table syrup and food flavourant, Ethyl Alcohol,
Acetic Acid, Citric Acid, Glycerin and Yeast. It is also used
as food for farm animals and in the manufacture of several processed
tobaccos. It is not economical to crystallized the sugar from
molasses. |
