Clarification of sugarcane juice for syrup production
Abstract The objective of this research was to study the process of sugarcane syrup production for the community. The clarification process was required to reduce particles in sugarcane juice before heating to produce syrup. In this work, we analyzed the turbidity, color, pH and sensory evaluation to determine the clarification effect due to three ...
