What is the Process of extracting sucrose from sugar cane?

Answer 1

Sugar Cane is a plant. It is one of the most important crops in Hawaii, as well as much of Central America, and some of the Caribbean. It is a tall, tough plant that used to be harvested by hand with machetes. Now it is harvested by machinery. In sugar growing areas pieces of Cane are often sucked or chewed on much like peppermint sticks. Harvesting

Sugar cane is harvested by chopping down the stems just above ground level, leaving the roots so that it regrows in time for the next crop. Harvest times tend to be during the dry season from there the cane is taken to the mill where the sap containing the sugar is extracted

Answer 2

Sugarcane is one of the plants that sugar is extracted from. The process is to break and crush the cane and then boil the sugarcane. After that the remaining juice is put through evaporators and the resulting material is sucrose.

Answer 3

It's more of a grinding process than a crushing one, but basically you chop up the cane, dump it into a strainer (so the sugarcane juice will run out), then wash it repeatedly until no more sugar comes out. You then boil the syrup, filter and purify it, and hit it with a vacuum to remove all the water.

Answer 4

I don't think that you can get Sucrose directly from a Sugar Cane plant. Sucrose is made up of two separate molecules, Glucose, and Fructose. These form with a Condensation Reaction is what it's called. Basically, the reaction occurs and a water molecule drops out of these two that are now Sucrose. I could be wrong about this crushing process. But this is what I know haha.

Answer 5

Sucrose is extracted from suitable vegetables such as sugar-beet, by simmering a heated water soultion.

Answer 6

pressing the cane to extract the juice containing the sugar and then boiling the juice until it begins to thicken and the sugar begins to crystallize.

Answer 7

• cane preparation
• juice extraction
• heating process and clarification
• evaporation
• crystallization
• centrification

Answer 8

boil sugarcane

Answer 9

u have to sqeese it out
