The cane plant is probably the most efficient utilizer of sun energy for food production, and at the same time provides an equivalent quantity of biomass. The purpose of this book is to set down the unique position of sugar cane in the cogeneration field. Simultaneous with the development of distance-transmissio... of electricity, sugar cane processors started cogeneration, making use of the cane plant to supply the power for its own processing, and in recent years excess power for export.A broad view of cogeneration in the cane industry, covering the energy available in a crop, the technology of processing for optimum recovery of energy as well as sugar is presented here. The book describes the most practicable processes for recovering energy in the form of process steam and electricity.Cogenera... in the Cane Sugar Industry should be of interest to a broad spectrum, including government agencies, biomass interests, power generators, public utilities as well as sugar producers and technologist.

The world of sugar production has undergone massive changes in the last decade which have resulted in the emergence of many technological changes as technologists strive to develop more efficient and cheaper processes. This is the first book to be published for several years which describes the current state of sugar technology. It presents the recent developments in beet and cane sugar manufacturing; describes the chemistry of sugar processing and products; and considers trends and future possibilities in sugar production systems and products.The book comprises two sections: beet and cane. The overview of the crop and the production systems that begins each section serves as a framework for the papers that follow. Several papers, i.e. those on sucrose chemistry - are relevant to both sugarcane and sugarbeet. The authors of the papers are all invited speakers well known in their respective fields. The book should be on the shelf of all sugarcane and sugarbeet factories and refiners around the world as well as those companies who are sugar users or who supply goods and services to the sugar industry. It can also be used as a text by universities offering training courses in sugar processing technology.

Carbohydrate Chemistry – VI (Madison 1972) covers the proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Carbohydrate Chemistry, held in Madison, USA on August 14-18, 1972. Chapter 1 focuses on the study of complex formation of sugar-metal complexes using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Chapter 2 describes the three types of reaction in the synthesis of fluoro sugars, namely, nucleophilic displacements with fluoride salts, epoxide cleavage, and glycal addition. Chapter 3 discusses the influence of pure, applied, and analytical research studies on the changes in carbohydrate marketing and industrial sugar production. Chapter 4 examines the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate, which exemplifies the formation of connective tissue polysaccharides. This chapter also considers the properties and substrate specificities of enzymes used in the biosynthesis. Chapter 5 explores the developments in cellulose and related polysaccharides found in plant cell walls. This book will be of great benefit to carbohydrate chemists and researchers.
