Seleghim","doi":"10.36961/si23046","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36961/si23046","url":null,"abstract":"The extraction of sucrose in a sugarcane diffuser depends on the percolation rate of juice through the cane bed. High percolation rates promote mass transfer and increase the wetness of the cane bed (i.e. liquid hold-up within the bed) thereby improving sucrose extraction. However, increasing the rate of juice applied to the surface of the cane bed above the maximum percolation rate results in flooding, causing uncontrolled mixing of juice, destruction of the dry substance content profile and reduced extraction. Flooding in the diffuser can be avoided by installing feedback control of adjustable sprays that alter the application area of juice onto the bed surface and automatically keeping the percolation rate optimised. Electrical conductivity of the cane bed, measured between the bed surface and the bottom screen of the diffuser, has been investigated as a possible online indicator of juice hold-up within the cane bed to provide the necessary measurement for implementing feedback control that can optimise percolation rates. Full scale tests were conducted on the Tongaat Hulett cane diffuser at the Maidstone factory. Reproducibility tests were done to confirm that there is a relationship between conductance and liquid hold-up.","PeriodicalId":54362,"journal":{"name":"Sugar Industry-Zuckerindustrie","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72756053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this goal, three windrows were prepared with different mixtures: windrow 1 contained oil sludge and green waste (20:10 on a wet mass basis) while windrow 2 contained oil sludge, green waste and carbonatation lime (20:10:10, on a wet mass basis). The composition of windrow 3 was: oil sludge, green waste and carbonatation lime (20:10:20, on a wet mass basis). The results showed that the use of carbonatation lime for composting vegetable oil refining sludge was able to regulate the high acidity of the sludge and thus to obtain an optimal pH value for the launching and maintenance of the composting process. The addition of carbonatation lime also gave better reduction of microbial activity without any negative effect on composting. The compost prepared with oil refining sludge (49% fresh mass), carbonatation lime (27%) and green waste (24%) exhibited the best quality with C/N ratio and pH values within the norm NFU44-051. These promising results could be a sustainable solution for the valorization of both oil refining sludge and sugar carbonatation lime.","PeriodicalId":54362,"journal":{"name":"Sugar Industry-Zuckerindustrie","volume":"358 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82625360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the contents of active ingredients (fungicides and insecticide) were analyzed and compared with the initial contents before storage. Based on these results, a selection of the most promising storage methods was made to test plant emergence in a field experiment. This research was performed in 2015/16 and in 2016/17. In both years, two storage treatments outperformed the others: these were storage in a closed jar with the addition of moisture absorber (i.e. silica gel) at room temperature and storage at –18°C in a closed plastic bag. Using these two storage methods, seed vigour and contents of active ingredients were comparable to those in seed that had not been stored for one year. Based on the results from this study, the advice to growers for a successful storage of residual sugar beet seed was adjusted in 2017, after including some practical guidelines and considerations.","PeriodicalId":54362,"journal":{"name":"Sugar Industry-Zuckerindustrie","volume":"186 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80603106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to color formation during storage the sugar color can exceed the quality criteria of the European council directive 2001/111/EC for white sugar. It is not possible to predict the color formation tendency of a white sugar lot at the time of its production. Also the source and the mechanism of color formation during storage are unknown. Color formation in general can be caused by several factors, which can be divided into external influences such as humidity and temperature during storage and internal causes such as contents of ash, polyphenols, mono- and oligosaccharides, and amino compounds.\u0000In this work, the effect of the above mentioned factors and the nature of the formed colorants were analyzed. Studies on the color distribution in sugar crystals were carried out and the nonsucrose compounds in the surface film were determined. The syrup film on the crystal surface contains the same compounds and in similar contents as thick juice. A correlation between the changes in the amino acid and monosaccharide content and the color formation was established, which shows that the Maillard reaction is responsible for the color development during storage of sugar.","PeriodicalId":54362,"journal":{"name":"Sugar Industry-Zuckerindustrie","volume":"139 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78893265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
